Nice Mike. That Wheel Magic won't polish it though it will only clean it right?

Re: Ethnic or not.

Yeah, I'm sorry - just reread your post. Yeah, it's just for washing, but it does a hell of a job of keeping the crap off your rims. As for the polish, sorry, I don't know what to tell you.

When you do find a good one, tho, be sure to let us know. Thanks.

Okay, well this spring I had a ton of shit from the salt and what not on all the rims. So I used a cleaning compound that I thought, at the time, was supposed to clean and polish. But it only cleaned all the grime and tarnish off them, though they did look really good afterwards, they still weren't "polished" like I want. However I know that there is a polishing compound from the same brand, and I have been told to use the cleaner and then use the polishing compound, but I haven’t gotten around to that.

Re: Ethnic or not.

They are telling you that because this car is popular with the Hispanic group. They are true muscle, but fairly inexpensive to aquire one. Every time I have seen a modded out or cared for TBird, it is usually a mexican or an old white hair dude

R I G H T...Well seeing as how most of the people that I know that drive a thunderbird don't fit either of that criteria, I don't think that is the case. Also I don't think you have a lot of room to talk if you have an Acura, in terms of cost. I wasn't interested in the rest of the Thunderbird owner population, all I wanted to know, truthfully, is if mine looked "ethnic or not".

And to say that all Thunderbird owners are either Hispanic or old is incredibly stereotypical. That's like saying that all the owners of Acura's are Asian, because most of the "modded out" import cars are driven by Asians. Which is totally false.

So let’s try to be a little more sensitive here Miss Acura. Especially on a Thunderbird fanatic Forum.

Haha, her post rubbed me the wrong way too - glad to see it wasn't just me.

Old people and mexicans? Whatever.

Re: Ethnic or not.

Hey don't flame her for trying to be helpful. She was just saying what she has seen with her eyes.

Don't just jump on someone so quickly.

Re: Ethnic or not.

I have noticed alot of older people driving T-birds.. Even know of a true to life pimp who drives a maroon cougar...... Anyways. Stereotypes don't mean we are stereotypical. That is just an easy way to group a certain group of people. It would be like me saying that all black people are drug addicts. Anyways. As far as the rims thing goes, I use Eagle One A2Z wheel cleaner. Gives them a nice shine. But read the directions to make sure it won't damage your rims.

Well sorry i guess. It just seemed like that is deifnatly not true. But I suppose everybody has the right to their own opion.

And im not looking for a wheel cleaner, but some type of a polishing compound. So basically anything that you spray on isn't what I'm looking for. Thanks for the help.
