Wheel refinishing

[Martin, Gary G]

I have used this with not so good results. It does help a bit, but that
nasty brake dust eats through it too. Then you can't polish out the
brake dust pits, cause you have the clearcoat on it. I took mine off
with laquer thinner. It also takes away some of the shine.

I just recieved my latest catalog from Eastwood ( eastwoodcompany.com )
They sell a clearcoat paint that is not supposed to yellow. Check it
out. Chuck 91 200tq slowly getting sorted out
