    CQuartz UK'd all my new Wheels today

    Used almost a 1/3rd of a 50ml bottle of the 2014 potion! LOL
    Yeah, but these wheels are sort of large, 22"x9" Chrome Factory Repros, and did them in and out, and even the 24 new Lugs and Locks for my Tahoe.

    Probably went a bit heavy, but wanted to insure total coverage on them.

    The Nitto 421Q Tires in 285/45-20 were mounted yesterday, and the Lugs came yesterday as well.

    This morning cleaned everything up. removing mucho tape adhesive residue fro the tires, Paint Thinner was the only thing that would remove it from the tires, mostly the back sidewall, and treads. Then tires were scrubbed with an APC, and a wash down with Duragloss Shampoo, water, wiped dry.

    Brought inside, in AC comfort today (it's hot here!) wiped down all chrome wheels with 70% IPA first, then Carpro Eraser, then applied the UK Coating.

    All came out beautiful, they are all curing as I type. I think I'll let them sit a good couple days before hitting with Reload, and then treating the Tires to a application of PERL.

    Can't wait to get these wheels-tires mounted up, but I'm being patient, letting that UK set up good and hard first.

    Hoping another nice sale comes up soon, want to buy some more UK, and some other great Carpro goodies!

    (PS, the wheels on my Tahoe in the Avatar are old 16x8's, they'll soon be history!)

    Thanks for posting Mark! Sounds like a lot of fun!

    You just let me know if we don't have a sale by the time you need that UK and I'll make sure we get something setup nice in time.

    Finally took some more pics today under my carport with a smaller file size so you folks could see.

    Washed the covercraft cover on it today, and that was an effort, larger than a ten man tent, and it's 100 degrees here.

    Wonders will never cease, huh!

    Crappy setting for my ride, sorry. Still not CQuartz'd though, but hopefully soon

    Hope I don't need a gallon of Eraser to get all the other goodies off the paint!
    LOL

    PS: Just too murderously hot here, my 59 years of age can't seem to tolerate it anymore. This weather here would kill an Olympic athlete! Cooler weather will come!
    Then, the CP UK Coating will hopefully still be good, and be lovingly slathered on!

    Sweet pics!

    Just keep the UK closed tightly and inside your house and it will be fine to wait a few months if you prefer.
