I live by the sea, which takes its toll on everything. With a little work, the Pod has held up nicely over the last few years, but the wheels are starting to look a little scrufty with some corrosion. I've tried a few of the auto store products which promise to do the job--Not! Does anyone have the definitive product recommendation and polishing regimen that would bring back the shine? If not, then are any of you Plastidip experts if that's how I have to go?

Kickstart,
  Was at a car show at GH fairgrounds a while back and there is a outfit in olympia by the air port will powder coat your wheels for about 50 bucks ea. we are going to have the wheels on the PT Crusier done this spring.  Salt air got to them,means No more polishing .

Moe, good idea, especially since I'm gonna replace tires this year. That company should be a pretty easy find for me, as my son lives about a mile from the airport. Thanks!

Also, that's one fine looking new tow rig!
