    Muthers. Put a pad on your drill and you are set. Keep the speed low to medium.

    A good chrome wheel cleaner?

    Mothers? try "Daughters".

    As in my two-year old. Insists on washing the wheels everytime. Okay, the results aren't very good, but ithe spotty wheels are a nice reminder that I'm a dad when I'm on the road.

    Joe - I've used Never Dull on alum. rims before...works great!!

    I suspect it would work good on the chrome rims too.

    I've used Eagle One mag wheel cleaner with good results too....mostly alum. rims though.

    Stop in at Tech Auto Parts...in addition to all the stereo stuff, I believe they have alot of detailing items.

    That was the only shop down your way I could think of...at the time. Isn't there still a detail place somewhere's on North St....I was thinking there was one between McKinley and Gault Chevy - on the right as you're heading towards Gault.

    Hmm I beleive there is one on the corner of adams? Its either Adams or Aurthur, I always get them confused. I live a few blocks from there on Kentucky. Right on the corner, white building? By guys and dolls billiards? Not to familiar with their work but theyve been there for a few years now atleast.
