Sounds about right depending on the wheel. Mine set was BAD! curbrash and a nice chemical burn from my car wash. They will never look as good without the clearcoat but i really cant complain.

Power ball does not come close to what real wheel polishing does. If there is any oxidation or minor scratches on the wheel then that wont polish it out. If your wheel comes with a clear coat or clear annodized finish you will need to do all 4 wheels to match.

Yup average cost of polishing a wheel cost $50 (does not include fixing curbage). Dont forget to include removing the tire and remounting it ($15-$30 per wheel). Also if the wheel has a different color face or dont want the finish on the face to be removed you need to take that apart as well ($15-$30 per wheel). Remember Rays and Mackin will not release torque specs on the wheels to put it back together. Also not all polishers do the same job. Some will do it half a$$ and leave a wavy finish on it.

I think that applies to any alley that backs itself to a strip club

well this one was in a food place area...i guess its gone now but you have to go through like small passages with cameras all over then you reach this little mom and pops run little whorehouse....
( this is /was near the walmart /towers area and no strip clubs anywhere near..very well hidden place )
i was hungry for korean bbq ,,,found the place after eating and taking a walk around the complex. and no i didnt sample the menu form the little shop but the kdm/jdm selection looked very...tasty.
