Most big rig truck stops have a polisher near the truck wash. $5.00/wheel while you wait. There are 2 on I10 between Phnx and Tucson. Eloy and The TA

I hope that I did this right. My next post ( I hope ) will have the results from Danny's car wash off of 99th ave. $8.50 a wheel. Make sure that you specify inside of wheel and outside.

Click to view attachmentClick to view attachmentClick to view attachmentWell there you have it. I had to clean them up a little more because they were a bit messy but, all is good. When I get the rings back, (black powder coated) I will show more then. I am going to keep up on these this time. Mothers after each trip.
99th and Deer valley???? I need to get them done 8.50 a wheel sounds good to me. I hate doing my wheels.

99th south of the 10. I think most truck wash and detail will be able to do them.

Call Fernando's metal polishing, he is south of melinda ln on 11th ave,(n. phoenix just south of Deervalley rd) he used to do all the polishing for Bourget's Bike Works and many others. I've had him polish my wheels probably 4 or 5 times and if I remember correctly it was 60.00 each. They look like they just came off the shelf when these guy's are done. They only work till 3pm.
