Nice write up man! I found when I used the motherball it dirtied up real quick with the polish and was tough to clean! How did yours make out?

Nice but you should try placing a sealent.wax on the wheels it makes clean up easier and you don't need the harsh chemicals.

that's the back side of my summer tires for my baja....

Image

I used soap and water to get them clean.. a little cleaner polish and a wheel sealent...

then they get put away for the winter..

those are 7 years old now and for the first 5 they went all seasons....before i decided to get winter tires
