Amazing what a little elbow grease can do
Been scrubbing my wheels all day. Amazing what some good chrome polish will do. Anyways I got around to the back two today because it takes about 1.5 hours a wheel to do. Check out the difference in this pic between the front and back. My wheels are like brand new again I can see myself in them!!

sweet lookin rig, I've got the same stickers on mine but haven't gotten to see what they look like yet. Can't wait to get back home to the good ole U. S. of A! Germany's a nice place to visit but workin this far from home is a rotten deal.
The lengths we go to so we can pay the bills never ceases to amaze me.:cry:
my rig is red but now I know what the new decals look like in place.

Shamrock where at in GE are you at.. Your mil I'm assuming. I up at RAF Mildenhall in the UK.
Thanks for the compliments guys. I took the wheels clear off the truck so I could get at the centercaps and everything. I even polished the lugnuts!! haha I am dreading doing the front two tomorrow. My arm is already sore from scrubbing

Hey UK I thought I noticed that! I'm in Mannheim working as a DOD Civilian Contractor as a Helo Mechanic performing Mods and maintaining US Army Blackhawks Appaches and Chinooks. Been Here a bit over 2 years after I got out of the Marines. I miss San Diego and My Carrier Squadron VMFA 323 "Death Rattlers" and My F-18C Hornets!! The Army Helo's REALLY pay the bills though!

Joey here's a tip
To save your elbow grease for other things like lifting cold one's. When the wife is not around, I use her B&D ScumBuster with the brush attachment to clean my wheels. The bristles are soft enough to not scracth the finish and it is small enough to get into all of the nooks & crannies. It is a great time and labor saver. Just a thought.
