Mothers is good stuff. If you want to make it easier to remove, have another rag near by and some baby powder. Sprinkle the black polish w/ the baby powder, then wipe off the rim. It helps contain it so it does wipe off and not smear. Also doesn't scratch the rims.

I learned along time ago I wasn't dedicated enough to hand polish anything. Its just to time consuming.

Mothers Powerball combined with their polish is my go to.

I have been driving every chance I get, getting familiar with the things that need attention or that bug me. Here Im parked @ work amongst some "appliances".

Truck is now "off the road" under going upgrades / repair to get ready for Carlisle Truck Nationals. I'm finally getting around to installing the sway bars that I purchased from @HectorM52. Rear link brackets / bar cannot be installed because my exhaust currently interferes. Maybe next year...

I went to a local suspension shop and had some U-bolts made. 9/16 X 9 inch. Much better than the 1/2 inch stuff u find online.

Installed my home-made caltrax. NO MORE WHEEL HOP!!

Oil / filter change is up next. Going to take an oil sample and have it analysed.

Also in the works is rim/tire balancing. One rim was found to be bent, so it's out getting fixed. Then its more polishing.

Stay tuned...
