If I knew of this product when I still had my Classics, I would have given it a shot. The McKee's is a clear coating you just wipe on, you can't even see it on the rag and you use it very sparingly. I was surprised how little I used to do my new wheels inside and outside. If I lived in Ocala I might still have my Classics because I wouldn't have potholes periodically hurting my rims. I'm familiar with the area since my folks used to live about a 1/2 mile down the road from Don Garlits.

I’m loving my TSW’s, care already is so much easier than the chrome.
I appreciate the compliment, thank you. I also wanted to mention, the TSW was also in my consideration in the same finish. However I don't think of them as 14 spokes, they are IMO 7 split spokes. As of today I only have one full day of driving on them, maintenance has yet to be tried out. I try not to be a slave to it.

I like the satin finish, looks very good. I guess your car isn't still settled down on its suspension? Any info on that motor in the background?

Correct. That picture is fresh off the lift.

Any info on that motor in the background?

Small world...I live off of 484 the opposite side of 75...about 6 miles west of Don Garlits.
