A Little Attention Needed...

I decided to rotate my tires today, and after 30,000 miles of NW Indiana and Chicago weather, the front and rear brakes along with the other assemblies were looking a tad bit "tired". So one thing led to another and after a very thorough cleaning of all the brake parts (all original) some desperate "touch-up" was applied....It's amazing how much time you can blow on little stuff...lol

I know all about these northern winter since I am in the snow belt of Ohio. If I had those wheels, they would be in storage all winter and the OEM wheel would be subjected to the snow and salt.

Mine ALWAYS looks like the detailed picture. I take points off in car shows for vehicles not properly detailed. Nothing like an absolutely clean vehicle with rust, mud, debris in the wheel wells. My opinion.
