Made my 2k2 rims look like dubs...click

Ok so they dnt look like dubs, but i must say the clay bar is awsome.


I clay bared the entire car and was happy with the results, when i was done i tried it on my rims.

great turnout, all those little tar spots on the rim, all came off, it even took out these brake dust spots that look permanete.

Then i waxed them up, and i couldnt belive how much nicer the rims looked.


so if you got rims that u just cant seem to get clean, go out and buy a clay bar.

For my wheels, I use clay that has become dirty from claying the paint. No sense in using a new bar on the wheels, IMO.

Also, try clay on your exterior glass. You'll be surprised at how much stuff you remove.

Odds are yes. Try it, if that doesnt work get out a razor blade and use it on the glass. If that doesnt work you might need an acid to remove them.

The word on the street is vinegar will remove water spots.

You probably ruined your clay bar by getting all that brake material in there. Those little bars are $$....I would not use it on the car again.

Gig: Yes, you can use your NXT paste on the stock wheels. The stock wheels are painted and clearcoated just as your paint is.
