Rainy afternoon
It was one of the most enjoyable Saturday afternoons I have had in awhile. Wife and kids taking a nap and I am down stairs polishing a wheel with the garage door open while it rains. No radio. No noise except the driving rain and the smell of wheel polish. It was fantastic.

Its Paintburner's fault that I even started this. Her new wheels looked so nice. Mine are probably 15 yrs old by now, but they look quite a bit better. This one I finished yesterday. I am pulling them off one at a time to make it easier.

This pic a little grainy. Once I get all of them finished I will back it outside and get a pic in the sun.

Great may be stretching it, but certainly much better than when I started!

Yeah, it's definitely your fault! I saw yours and said Holy crap!

Glenn, you asked, and I hate to disappoint. I finally finished the wheels today. I just backed it out and took this pic. I am pretty happy with how they turned out
