I spent about 7 minutes per wheel this day. These wheels are 8 years old. I bought them used and then put new style center caps on them.

Robert's suggestion reminded me of some stuff I had for some previous wheels, on a different vehicle.. Nevr-Dull.

I gave that a try and it seemed to remove a lot of the surface evidence of what had been there. BUT, I think I rubbed too hard and just scratched the hell out of that part of the side-step.. (Yes, I know, I should've been doing this in a less obvious place...) And, as you can tell from the picture, there still appears to be some sort of staining.... :(

Michael,

Get your butt to the clinic right now. I'm dead serious. I have a couple things to try before you have to rechrome those things.

What time do you leave? I'll head your direction when I can get away from here..

I will leave today somewhere between 5 and 6. There is not much going on today.
