Civic Fogs.. Sh*t

I put in my fogs in my 99 about a month ago and one of them has water damage already.. Like water standing in it and fogged up with moisture above that.
Kinda pisses me off..


On a brighter note, I polished the lips on my rims yesterday and they look pretty sexy. Pictures coming up today

First I cleaned it off really well with a rim cleaner and then wetsanded with 800, 1500, and 2000 grit sandpaper to get it really smooth. If you do this make sure to keep it really wet or it won't work as well. Then I used Mother's Mag and Aluminum Polish with some polishing rags I picked up at Autozone. My friend Polished his stock Si wheels and helped me out. He has some major skills.. Looks killer if you do it right

Be prepaird to have to clean and polish them ALL the time. Once you remove any clear on aluminum and polish aluminum you have to do it all the time.

This stuff works good and i recommend the sealant on the aluminum. It will stay shined longer.
