Just Bought Some Turbines off Ebay. Reply #2 – June 17, 2006, 08:28:27 AM Those turbines will sparkle once you get them really really clean man. It takes a lot of work, but the results are well worth it. I used Simple Green, an array of rags, sponges, and things like that. What helped towards the center was a 1" paintbrush that had the bristles cut down to about 1" long. Quote Selected

Just Bought Some Turbines off Ebay. Reply #5 – June 18, 2006, 09:16:21 AM The turbines are awesome just a pain to keep clean. If you get them and the clearcoat is peeling, you can remove all of the factory clear using acetone. Then you can go to any parts place and they should have a spray can of wheel clear coat. I forget who makes it, but they offer some basic colors and clear. Quote Selected
