Nice! Don't forget to get your wheels balanced after you reasemble them.

Guess what guys, I'm using edible acid to clean the studs! COKE aka Coca Cola!
Works well, calcium & dirt build ups gone after I soak it overnight with Coke. Next to be done is to brush & polish it one by one...

I forgot about that stripper! My Kragen has it by the gallon... I think my Wal-Mart may still have some too.

I'm not sure what the rime shop exactly does.
I've just tried to get as much of the clear coat off of mine I used acid, picked at the cc, then shined them up.
They shine but still look like pooh.. I really want to get them professional done as soon as I get it back from the shop.

In this pic you can see the cc in the other you can see how it shines and you can't see them.

You can get cc remover from your local auto store.It is very easy to do.Auto zone has some thats called aircraft stripper.You put it on let it sit and wash it off.Then use some megs alum polish and your done.

citric might not work. I say might just because I use Lemon juice to make my grill in the café I use to have, shine after cleaning it. That is the only application I used a "citric acid". I used pro acid, very caustic and it barley anything to the clear coat.
