RE: [Chrysler300] Wire Wheels

["Rich Barber-Desktop" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

And here’s a You-Tube demonstrating the process using a Mother’s Powercone  http://motherspowercone.com/           Like Meguiar’s Powerball  they are pretty pricey for what you get.   And, I have not seen replacement cones or balls.  A custom built foam head would probably be the answer and would come with a sackfull of foam heads of different shapes and sizes that would easily clamp to a spindle.  Running a 110V drill around the water would not be a great idea.  The cordless drill gets a little heavy after one wheel, but that’s OK—my creaky old back can usually only handle one wheel before it needs a “break”.  Elbow grease is still required.

1955 Chrysler C-300 with five Motor Wheel and Rim wire-spoke wheels—factory option, but not on my car originally.  PIA to clean, but worth it for the appearance!

 Hi Group,
Does anyone have advice on how best to clean wire wheels? My fingers are about to fall off every time I try this proceedure! Thanks, Charlie in Ottawa, 62 Sport with wires
