Just curious, did you use their cleaner and neutralizer before the coating? How long before it came off?

Take a look at this product http://www.everbrite.net/index.html I changed tires for a guy with a new GoldWing 1800 and they start off with bare aluminum wheels, so he coated it with this stuff...he said it was super easy, you just wipe it on and it self levels itself. A couple coats and your good to go! I plan on stripping the paint of my wheels someday too, and plan on using this stuff!! Have fun!! :fing02:

- Why would you be waiting for the high beams to warm up if you stay halogen? They will light up the same speed as always unless you switch them to HID (bad idea). As for other aspects to the discussion on HID lights: - get a good kit with bulbs that are nicely centered and decent ballasts. - don't run cooler color temp than 6000K if you want decent lighting. 6000-6500K is noticeably blue, with 5000K being slightly blue. 4300-4500K is pretty much the brightest, purest white light you can get. 2500-4000K will give you a yellow look (yellow color increasing with drop in K-value) and will be good for contrast and poor weather. If you just want HID blue lights for the "look" then save yourself the money and headache of install and just get yourself a set of blue tinted halogen bulbs. Both are useless, but look "cool" if you are into that sort of thing. - Blue lights don't get you noticed any better, as every other idiot on the road seems to think 6500K to 10000K blue lights are the shit. Intense yellow color stand out more, if you ask me, and aren't as annoying to other drivers. - I could go on and on with this subject, but I will spare you all. If you want to educate yourself, look up HIDplanet or The retrofit source and do some reading. Re-read it. I was stating my reason for not using HID in the high beam. I'll check with those sources, Thanks For what it's worth, the warm up time for the HID high beams to me is a non issue...I barely notice it and the extra light output makes up for it 100%! :biggrin:

I agree that the parts on ebay that are not OEM are pretty much junk. Sure they are cheap, but if you pay $45 for something you can't use, then what's the point! If you want quality....you pay for it. I would check the sellers return policy...if they have one, then try em, worst case you pay for shipping twice! :biggrin:
