OK I'm officially insane...I just waxed the inside of my wheels

Yup, I just did one, I plan to do the others over the weekend.

1) Wash the inside of the wheel with Eimann Fabrik Hi Intesity Cleaner
2) Towel Dry
3) Cleaned the inside of the wheels with Dupont Cronar
4) Two coats of Z2

I am fully prepared to blind someone at the next Park Ave Acura Meet

Is it even noticable that you waxed the inside of the wheels without getting right up beside them? I am just asking to see if this is something worthwhile for me to attempt.

This is what happens when you work on your car inside a closed garage and smelling all the fumes from all the cleaners,conditioners,wax,zaino,etc....

I think Neil is officially brain-dead from inhaling all the different fumes.:wow:

Neil,
have you thought about spraying the inside of your wheels a flat black to enhance the outside finish, you know, when the sun just isn't hitting the wheels just right?

Cool painted inside of wheels !

i painted the inside of my wheels high heat aluminum/silver when i painted the calipers!. the whole point of working from home is so that you can make your own hours, and have that time to wax the inside of your wheels! or whatever? commute 3 hours a day? not if i don't have to! go neil! kman

I'll make sure to walk a dog by your place sometime...and make sure he takes a minute to stop by all 4 of your wheels <Neil comes running out screaming in his PJs>

Alright, I think its a little excessive to wax the inside of the wheels...However, did it work and make that much of a difference? I'd try that if it worked.

What it does is help to keep brake dust from caking on the inside of the wheels.

It also adds about 5 HP to the wheels
