One of my neighbors watching all of this told me I needed therapy, I told him he needed a vette, then he'd understand

[QUOTE=talon90]: A great cleaning tool is a paint stirrer with a rag wrapped around it.
The old "paint stirrer with a rag" is a great cleaning tool. When I don't pull the front wheels off to clean, I use it to get to the barrells. Also, great for drying/cleaning the area between the doors and fenders when the doors are open. The paint stirrer is flexible enough to contour nicely in tight spots where you normally can't get to.

I took a look at your photos and I agree, tint looks very nice. What number/percent tint do you have all around?

Semichrome is what I use and have posted many times here on this forum. My CCW's are polished aluminum, but they shiny as chrome and often mistaken for chrome by those who don't knw the difference.
