    Clay bar wheels?

    After hearing all the hype about "clay bar", I decided to do a major detail on the Marauder. It's taken several days (damn, this car is big! ), but it's almost finished (luckily I made room in the garage for the Marauder AND the Mustang!). I washed and clay bar'd the car, then polished the top surfaces of the car and then finished with a coat of Meguiars Carnunba Wax (BTW, I used nothing but Meguiars stuff).

    Then, I turned my attention to the wheels. I hit them with some Meguiars polish, but I felt there was more. So, I remembered all the threads on this site about "don't use anything on your wheels that you wouldn't use on the paint itself. So, I broke out the clay bar and clayed the wheels. Damn! What a difference that made! After I clayed the wheels, I then polished them with the same Meguiars polish and used the same Meguairs wax. They look awesome!

    I'd post pics, but, the site won't let me. I guess I posted too many pics since I have been a member already....
