Nice work Mark, the wheels came out very nice.

I used Mother's polish too on the 17" three piece Etoile wheels that were on 6018 when I purchased it. I'd clean up the outer rims with Mother's as often as needed to keep them shiny, I drove the car weekly. Then twice a year I'd use a wad of q-tips cleaning around the heads of the 40 bolts (per wheel) that held those three piece wheels together. Talk about a time consuming job.

That's why my new three piece HRE wheels have painted centers, chrome plated outer rims and hidden hardware. No polished aluminum, no bolt heads. The guy who sold the wheels commented "you REALLY don't like cleaning wheels do you!"

I don't sleep on a bed of nails either.
