Re: so i have some boyd coddington rims need some advice

I'm thinking of clear coating mine this winter when they're off the truck. I'm used to chrome wheels, and having to polish the wheels every time I clean it has gotten incredibly stale.

Give me painted, chrome, or cleared natural next time around.

The Easiest Way To Polish Billet Wheels Is To Get Mothers Power Metal Polish, Power Ball, High Speed Drill.

Wet The Wheel Down Put Polish On The Power Ball, Start Buffing Them, It Dosnt Take Alot Of Polish, But You Have To Keep The Wheel Wet, And Before The Polish Drys On The Wheel Wash It Off. Fastest And Easiest Way I Have Found.
