I have the SF Challenge gloss black with the polished lip, I have been going to the same car wash for the last year and the other day the soap at the car was ate the clear coat off of the rim were it ponded for a while. WTF, how could Rays put out such a **** clear coat on there rims. It's not like these rims are 4 for $100. I think I'm going to have them stripped and polished, it will be a little more effort to keep them clean but at least I'll be able to polish out scratches, water spots and polish them to a brilliant shine. So does anyone know the torque specs on the two piece rims our were to find them?

Armorall and Volks
Is it safe to use Armorall to "shine" your tires when you have VOLKS with a flat finish (ce28N TAs to be exact)????
Of course atleast a droplet of Armorall will find its way to the wheel, so im wondering if this can damage the finish in any way...

I could be wrong, but I think he was referring to the brand he might be using.. Armor All makes tire shine.

Ah okay, I thought he was talking about just Armorall cause I know all thise car washes use that to shine the tires. I'd recommend anything that is tire shine specific.

I want to know when I dismount my TA TE37's what should I do to the inner barrel to keep it from browning/ looking dull?
I was thinking of cleaning the wheels really good and then putting a wheel wax on it??? bad idea on a flat finish?
