    Cleans up ok, for a POS . . .

    Before:



    After





    Finally found a good wheel cleaner to get most of the crap off of these old bottlecaps. Washed it and then used Mequiars Paint cleaner and polish, followed by wax.

        Damn, that 3 step process takes for-fricken-ever. But does turn out nicely. Looks good for a track rat.

          You wouldn't think that a car like that would look good, but it does. Clean b-caps don't look bad at all.
          The BMW 318 is back. With a vengeance.

              you should rock out with orange, blue, purple weaves...

              they would do with the german flag decal and your rainbow license plate!

                Very nice, peel that tape off your hood though.

                Rob's car pulled off the tape on stripes better, IMHO.

                  Im assuming those yellow high beams are laminx or whatever its called? Is that why they look a little cloudy?

                    My guess is there off a Benz.

                      Looks nice, Dave. I see you're rocking the German flag decal. I got one of those for my car, but when I put it on, all you could see was the red and the yellow, so I took it off.

                        Not digging the yellow lights or the black bumpers.

                          Looking good, Dave. You live across from the Leave it to beaver house.

                            The flag decal is covering a hideous flaw in the clear coat - big chunk missing there, so it was an easy way to hide it. I actually started to take it back off, but it started taking more clear coat with it. So it stays for now.

                            As for the bumpers - they look better than Bronzit ones, IMHO.

                            The yellow lights are off a Benz.

                              Scrub a little harder, it still looks bronzit.
                              Im now E30less.
