Let us know how it looks in a month or two will ya.
Great job by the way,
Thanks. Well, they should stand up as good as the Centerlines. They don't clear coat their wheels. You just have to polish them occassionally.

But on the plus side, I left these EASY to clean. I stopped polishing with the Brillo pads, so I could reclean with Brillo's any time. I did not high polish them like the Centerline's are. I was going to, but then I'd have to KEEP polishing them forever. The way they are right now, I can take a Brillo pad and in 10 minutes I am done with both steps and the skid plate. I did it yesterday before the pics. I wouldn't clear coat them.

By the way, I figure it goes without saying, but don't anybody ever touch your Centerlines or other HIGH POLISH aluminum with a Brillo pad. You will ruin the polish job.
