Hello Gang!   I nabbed a decent set of Impala SS wheels the other night for my buddy Richard to put on that '92 Roadmaster Sedan he found out in Dallas.  They wheels were not beat-up, but as typical for these, the clear-coat was hazed/yellowed and worn/cracking in some places.

Back in 2008(?)-ish I tackled removing the clear-coat my Roadmaster wheels, and with waxing now and then and a polish a couple time a year, they have stayed looking nice since then.  No paint, no clear-coat, so I decided to tackle the same project with these new ones before giving them to Richard.

It took around four hours on Saturday, but they came out really nice.  I stripped, then polished, then waxed them, and added my Roadmaster center-cap decals.    

I made a step-by-step photo album on Facebook if you want to see exactly what I did, with LOTS of pics and list of products.   Link here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10213243235346122.1553678810&type=3

He's off to get tires next.   Really looking forward to seeing these installed on his Roadmaster Sedan.
