Junkman's Wheel & Tire Maintenance Regiment

[Junkman2008]

Just like the title says, here's how the Junkman maintains his wheels. This is also how the Junkman reacts when a ********* rolls past the garage....

valve stem needs a cap

Funny you should mention that. As I was recording this, I looked down and thought to myself, "Where the hell is my valve stem???"

How do you get rust off of your brake discs?

Take her for a drive

I agree. One block later, no rust.

You vids are funny. I ordered the Opti tire gel after watching this one. We'll see how it works! Been using the Mothers Reflections Tire Care, with excellent results. Ever tried it? Here: http://www.mothers.com/02_products/10324.html

I also dislike glossy silicone covered tires.

I tried other products by Mother's but not that one. The main thing that I like about Optimum's product is that it is manufactured by them. They manufacture all of the chemicals that they sell. For me, that's a very important aspect as I know that I am not buying from a middle man. Make sure you get that applicator pad. It makes applying the tire gel a breeze and it goes on even.

Nice video, but you do not mention anything about how to clean tires. I know it is pretty straight forward, but you have insite on what items to avoid.

It's like you said, it's pretty straight forward. I figured the wheels are a lot more important that the rubber. It's not like your going to scratch the rubber or anything!

For my rubber, I swear by Tuf Shine Tire clearcoat. Water based and dries to the touch in a few minutes. A nice matte finish, or more shine with another coat or two. Best thing, it lasts literally for months.
A bit expensive but well worth it, IMHO.
