I thought that was already established:
I need to put this car on hold for a couple of weeks because apparently I'm having a big party at my house soon. :shock:

I swear, cleaning these has been harder than the RS wheels. And BTW, anyone that thinks using the dishwasher to clean wheel centers is a good idea is an idiot.
I guess I should wait a while before asking if I can send my BBS RYs to you for cleaning & all around spiffing up. Rats.

Nothing exciting again today.

Painted the lug bolts.

And cleaned the centers using a little trick I picked up on Ban Island.

My brother in law told me their dishwasher needed replacement even though it was only about 5 years old. Apparently the previous owner of their house liked to wash pickle jars with the labels on, which would then disintegrate and get stuck in the washer jets.

I wonder what trashes a dishwasher faster, washing pickle jars with labels or cleaning BBS wheel centers? :laugh:
