Hey thanks for the info on debadging it went well I appreciate it guy's. I was wondering if my truck would look better without the oem splash gaurds ( little mud flaps)? I'm just trying new things to improve the look. I put a bug sheild or wind deflector on top for my sunroof but I don't Know If I like it or not. Also I have polished aluminum on black wheels and the polished aluminum part is starting to lose it's clearcoat what can I use to get it off and restore the shine to them? Also what is hands down the best wheel cleaner out there, as far as a spray on and wash off type cleaner. Thanks:D

The OEM mudflaps are held in by 4 screws IIRC. If you take them off you will have small holes left behind. I would leave them on. I don't do polished aluminum rims for that exact reason you stated. I would peel the clear coat off and go get a jar of the mothers polish at your local auto parts store. it's a rub on type of deal in a small jar just for polished rims. A friend of mine use's it on his SS that he has 22's on. It works really well (he has a stainless lip on his rims). I don't think there's a "good" spray on and wash off wheel cleaner, your gonna have to get in there and do some rubbing.

As far as wheel cleaners not polish, I've enjoyed Meguair's Hot rims or something like that and EAgle One A2Z cleaner...the A2Z cleans real well, it instantly turned brown from the dirt it dissolved with from tires and wheels. Not saying it's the best but it's good.
