Winter Rims, Stainless Exhaust TIps

OffRoadin13 · 02-25-2007, 11:02 AM

Hey guys I thought I would take my American Racing Tailgunners off for the winter.. Now my question is... What is the best way to take car of them while they're off? Of course I have them stored in a shed, but is there a conditioner I can put on them? And Exhaust tips too, best way to keep them nice?

I would always just stack them up with a sheet of cardboard in between each wheel and then cover the stack with a moving blanket... always worked fine for me.

I tend to put wheel sealant on my rims and exhaust. Makes cleaning them much easier. If your rims are off the truck, I'd clean em up real nice w/ a cleaner, then apply some wheel sealant. This way they're all set for the springtime

This is the one I use and that I see suggested most often. Wheel Sealant

WD-40...Believe it or not. I live in Canada and its damn cold in my garage and my grandpa told me just spray em good with WD-40 and stack em up (clean them first) and ur good to go. In the summer just wash em up polish em and ur good to go.
