MBi- Welcome to Autopia! I seldom post on the Intro Yourself threads, but something Dan posted caught my eye:
That. Build a knowledge base and develop an understanding of this stuff instead of just jumping in (heh heh, especially before jumping in with a credit card at online vendors
).
Big Topic to study up on: How does paint get (hopefully just cosmetically) damaged? How to avoid that?
Whether you DIY this stuff or hire a Pro, knowing what`s-what will be highly valuable, and this is a perfect place to learn.

Welcome! Read some of the older posts. There is an amazing amount of knowledge on those old posts.

WHERE IN NY. Id be willing to lend a garage (with heat) and guidance if you are close. Im near Rochester.
Thanks guys for the feedback that I should focus on the methods to use instead of products. I`m very hesitant especially with wheel cleaners after seeing reviews on Amazon where their finish is ruined, but I assume people leave the chemicals on the wheels too long. I have seen anodized calipers get ruined by the wrong products being used on them from I assume the car wash. Don I`m pretty far from you as I am downstate but I appreciate your offer and I hope anyone on the forum thats near you takes you up on such a offer.

A lot of them don’t check the finish of their wheels. Once you know that your fine. People se 4.5 star reviews and are all excited.
