So this morning I went out to see what my £200.00 or $260.00 had bought me.
Tyres, still have some life left in them. (Subject to getting changed at a whim)
These wheels will be needing a refurbishment, without doubt.
Lacquer peel and also oxidation on the diamond cut surfaces, in order to get them up to the standard the truck is presenting.
During my lunch hour I used a whole large bottle of Cif/ammonia based scrubbing agent along with two large, hard brushes to clean them one at a time.
The two on the left are cleaned.
Dirty on the right.
Also done today, at 07.00 when I got up, I cleaned the front and rears of these caps, 20 years worth of brake dust, muck etc took an hour to clean, but result was decent.
Unfortunately I only got 11 wheel nut caps when I got the wheels, so will need to find or buy some more.
And unless I find a trade for some Chevrolet items in the UK, I may fill these debossed GMC logos with a resin based filler and sand them flat, followed by paint.
What I would like to fit......
Hope to have it all done sooner than later.
