2006 Cadillac STS-V

What did you use to get the insides of the wheels so nice?

[Fred32v]

Rubbing compound and then wax.
To remove the rubber and glue where old wheel weights
use to be I very carefully used a putty knife and mineral spirits.

The rubbing compound was GMJohnny's idea. I'm sure any
compound would work, I used Ditzers DRX 16, very aggressive,
then one step cleaner and wax.

I used 409 and ArmorAll on the inner finders after I scrapped
five pounds of rubber from the rear wheel wells.

Now that you have me thinking about this, it occurred to me that I could jack up the back end, reverse the wheels on the hubs, start the engine, put it in gear and spin 'em while I clean the back side. What do you think about that? Seems it would save a lot of elbow grease.

[Fred32v]

Me thinks the hub might not let you do that,
but you don't want to make the job too easy.
I have about 90 minutes in each corner,
the front wheels were worst,
the rear wheelwells were the worst.

I was intentionally taking my time,
not wanting to kill the job.

Sold on Saturday 2/20/16. Sure was fun while I had it!

OK, now I'm waiting for the next shoe to drop...........

[Blue_69_malibu]

That's kind of like Superman selling his cape........

OK so this opens up a space in the garage. Can a track day car be far behind?

[GMJohnny]

I have insider info on what is going in the garage slot. Perhaps
32V will shed some light on this. "GTX" is in the model #!!!!
