[QUOTE="AdamsPolishes, post: 1288145, member: 10587"] I'm surprised to hear that you are already having corrosion after three months, with the assumption that they have not been exposed to deicing chemicals typically used during winter. What have you been using to clean them so far? Are they exposed to any other chemicals? I would suggest cleaning them really well with Eco Wheel Cleaner and a Wheel Woolie and Trim Brush. For the oxidized areas, try some Revive Hand Polish.

To protect them, use Ceramic Wheel Coating, applied per the instructions, with the correct preparation steps. [URL]https://adamspolishes.com/shop/exterior/coatings/adam-s-ceramic-wheel-coating.html[/URL] In order to clean them and apply the coating, you will need to remove the wheels to gain access. Here's a pic of my shock after applying the coating. The shocks still look new, despite the exposure to deicing chemicals during the winter. [ATTACH=full]113344[/ATTACH] And here's a link to the writeup: [URL="https://www.fordraptorforum.com/posts/1080011/"]First Detail - Adamized the Raptor[/URL] Also, with this new forum software, I do not have any formatting tools in the editor (ie no font size, color, hyperlink etc). I have tried Explorer and Chrome, both are the same. Does anyone else have these editor formatting tools? This software looks the same as over on FRF2, and that editor does have formatting options.
