after cleaning:
before cleaning:
you can't really tell the difference but in person it looks 100% better. i broke my digital camera and had to take stills from the camcorder.
thats what my car looks like with no rims. say what you will, i actually think it looks pretty cool.
i just put some reflective strips on the back. i think they look pretty cool. haha don't even say anything about the sticker on the window. i know its a cadillac and not a chevy. im just showing my support for a local 4x4 club i'm in. |

I love your car, I really do. But I think the reflectors clutter it up. |

I took my wire hubcaps off to clean them once, and just having the rims there makes the car look, i don't know, tougher. Like a rich guy who scuffed his wingtips in a fight. |

I'll probably get some nice ones by the lake this weekend. It's not perfect, I might still have it done in a few years, but it looks much sharper in person than before Quote: |

What kind of cleaner and what ratio to water did you use? I'm thinking about taking mine apart to get every last spec of dirt gone. But I might try your way. |
