Yeah now I recall you wanted to knock out the diamond plate but I used close to 3/4" cut pile carpet for the diamond plate steps and boxes.

I did pickup a bottle of Ultra to run behind the green,I'll see if I can git r done today.

The ultra is to be used on finished polished surfaces that don't need to be broke in.

Here's a couple photos of a wheel on the Excursion that I hit with Bad Dog:sly

allllllrrrrriiiiigggghhhhttttyyyyy bill. tell me how you keep your cans from rusting. i went and bought new ones cuz the old ones were badly rusted. and the new ones took a dump within 1 month. went back to the discount tire and the guy said 'sorry nuttin we can do' just put some polish on them..

is it cuz we have a much harsher climate up here...snow/salt and crap??:dunno

by the way, i got the same rims... simple and somewhat easy to clean. although i have been toying w/ the idea of powder coating them black....

Well the hub covers I currently have on the rig are actually the second set. The first set got rusted after that western states winter drive we took to Salt Lake City in December 2006. We replaced the first set in January due to the tire shop's negligence.

So yes the harsher winter roads that use salt does bad things to chrome plated surfaces,some react quicker others take years.
