2 customers. first one is the stock wheels off a customers Element, i also detailed this vehicle a month ago and ceramic coated it.

 

he wanted something subtle, that would flow well with the black. He ended up choosing Kingsport Grey, and we went with a Fog Clear top coat, which gives a 25% gloss

the next is a set of Chevy 1500 wheels, customer had his stock steel wheels that were badly corroded on the inside, and decided to pick up a set of used aluminum wheels. i showed him some color options and gloss options, he also chose Kingsport grey, and initially wanted the fog clear. after i shot the first wheel i saw how well the glossier finish looked with the center caps and shot him a picture, after he saw that, he was set on the glossier finish. definitely a good choice as it really makes the wheel look more OEM finish.

Looks good. Do you need wheels and tires dismounted or can you do them?

 

I prefer if you drop off just the wheels. But I have had someone drop their car off. I just take the wheels off and them to tire discounter, that cost gets forwarded to the customer.
