[QUOTE=BelgiumBarry]i do it with the great means : put my wheels in my "lathe "? ( turning device for machining metal ) , a big brush and clothes with alu polish in the fixed head and let it turn for a few minutes....clean them and they shine for a while.....   You can  try it also riding approx. 20 mph with the brush trough the window  but be carefull for passing cars not to polish their entyre car....[/QUOTE] That is funny I must admit

Methinks people in Belgium have some very long arms! Not quite as long as a North Carolina boy that's used to putting empty beer cans in the bed of his pickemuptruck!

In the past I polished the wheels on my '78 with I guess Mother's or anything similar to that. I have heard of a product called Zoop that puts a sealer on them and is supposed to last 1-2 years, but I have never used the product. It is expensive--Eastwood sells the deluxe kit for $129. Of course it's very time-consuming to keep the wheels polished also.

I'm willing to do it if it means I don't have to do every 2 months.It's real humid here in savannah and it don't take long before I have to do it again/Wish I would have seen that episode.I usually don't miis it.Do they have a web site?I'd like to see if I can find out anything on it.
