Really nice truck!!! can you post the process you used to clean up the wheels because that made a huge difference... I'd like to avoid damageing my wheels trying to get those results.

I used a Dewalt Variable Speed Buffer / Polisher for both sanding and polishing. Im not sure what grit paper I used to sand but it was simi fine, I also used white rouge compound for polishing the aluminum.
