what to use when cleaning rims
2K XJ replied to soundstream15's topic in Wheels and Tires - The rubber hits the road here!
I've never really thought it smells like sharpies...but it definatly smells bad. Its the strongest smelling chemical I've ever smelled. You have to wear gloves and a breathing mask when using the stuff its terrible. I've thrown up from breathing in a bit too much of it. Hate the smell, love the results. And yeah this stuff will absolutely kill your hands or anything it touches. -
what to use when cleaning rims
2K XJ replied to soundstream15's topic in Wheels and Tires - The rubber hits the road here!
Sorry if this is late...but I work as a detailer at a used car dealership, so I see a lot of used cars come in that had previous owners that hated to take care of the wheels If the stuff is really stubborn you will have to use really strong chemicals to get it off. At my shop I use a acid alluminum brightener. It works wonders, and can usually clean wheels up extremely fast. Today I was painting my rims black, and while I had the rims off the Jeep I decided to clean the backsides of the rims just cuz. I wouldnt be surprised if it was the first time they have been washed ever. Started like this Ended up like this That was after only going over once. I really don't care about how my rims look like on the backside as no one ever sees them, but you can literally get any rim looking great with this stuff no matter how bad it looks now. The stuff I use is industrial strength, and we get it in bulk in like 10 gallon containers...so I'm not even sure if you'll be able to get it...but if you can, its worth looking into. -

Wow man thats a nice looking truck, especially for a 16 year old! Did you buy it lifted or did you add the lift yourself? Your truck looks exactly like my friends except his is a 4 door. Looks like your doing a great job so far. I'm interested in seeing where you take this -

DD-1 Renting Idea!
2K XJ replied to Twostrokeking's topic in Off Topic - Random, Misc posts - the forum "Junk Drawer"
i dont think your understanding it...your not spending $125 to rent it...you'll only be spending like $25 or whatever the actual owner is charging to borrow it for a set amount of time. Then when your done with it you send it back to the owner and he'll send you $100 back. The $125 is just a way to keep people honest so that they won't send the owner $25 to rent the dd and then never return the device. For people like me I like this idea. I have one car and I'm not gonna be changing my system anytime soon. I also don't build other people systems, so I don't think it would be smart for me with my income to go spend $125 on a dd to only set one system with. I'd much rather only spend $25 and only use the dd once, which is how many times I would be using it if I bought it for $125. -

Anyone deal with Sonicelectronx
2K XJ replied to miniSPLlancer's topic in Electrical-battery- Alternators- Wiring
There a great company to deal with IMO. I've ordered $300 in stuff for my car this week I've bought a lot from them in the past and the shipping is usually free and always fast. Never had a problem with them. -
