    Anyone have their wheels polished before and how much does it cost roughly? What about tanks?
    Thanks

    Nope. Blue Beacon for me. Company tractor trailer. 50 bucks to wash.

    Most of my trucks had steel wheels, there is no point. The later aluminum wheels did well with BB. No one touched the wheels or tanks because there was no need.

    I couldn't find anyone to do my tanks, steps and all the other aluminum so i decided to do it myself, bought a Zephyr kit on ebay, went on youtube and Zephyr's website to see how its done.
    If you decide to try it yourself be prepared to get dirty, also the youtube videos don't explain everything.

    I know there's place across from T/A in Corning, CA but I didn't stop there to get a price.

    Depends on how bad they are and how nice you want them.

    I do my own and it would probably have been cheaper to pay someone to do it but it's a rewarding job in the end.

    Salt Lake Truck Wash was getting about $900 for 6 wheels, two tanks, two saddle boxes, Herd bumper and headache rack and frame painting. Airvision in SLC was even more than that.
