What is the best way to do this? I wax the outside every few months......I was just wondering about the inside since it is a fully polished rim? It is a lil rough dos that means they are pitting? And there are some brown spots like dirt is that tarnish or what? How would I remove these? I know I shouldnt care since it is on the inside of the rim but still LOL! How much would shopo re-polish these in like ayear o two aprox? Thanxs, Adam!

things like that win points at shows so i would say every once in a while take the tire off and polish the inside to keep it from pitting

LOL I mean I havent had em that long so Its not my bad really, maybe they just need a good polishing LOL! haha Adam

i don't really know a whole lot about billet wheels but i can tell you that it'll take a lot of elbow grease and a good amount of polish if you wheels are starting to pit to keep them lookin good

I was parked next to the wenol booth at a show. The wenol rep showed me how to make them shine. Use the red tube first, sparingly. The polish is a chemical reaction to the aluminum, so you don't have to rub hard, just go back & forth. Wipe away. Then it should have cleaned & shined up the aluminum. Now use the blue tube the same way. It should look better than the day you bought them after finishing w/ the blue tube. Then go back over it with their sealer in the pink tube. It is kinda like a wax for billet. Use very little at a time. If you use too much it is just harder to get it to buff off. The sealer will keep them lookin like chrome for a long time. If it gets dirty just wipe off. I swear it works that great. I use it on all 3 sets of billets i have.

wenol.com has an 800 number you can call & order it or Hunters Custom automotive in Nashville, Tn will ship it to you to. Ask for John Richardson @ 615-227-6584 & tell him Clint told you to ask for him. Don't cheap out though, buy the red, blue, & pink tubes. It should be 7-10 bucks a tube but well worth it. I had a piece of 1"x1" aluminum angle hangin on my garage wall that I polished about half of the 2' section yesterday, it looks like chrome. This stuff is great. They also sell the buffing wheels for drills or die grinders. They work great & save your fingers & shoulders from all the rubbing.
