Did you pull on the wheel and turn the key at the same time?

Thanks I thought it was just broke good to know

Quinlan, I noticed your sig shows two 97-03s. Several times I have used the wrong key, I have 2 black 99 coupes and yea it happens.

I didn't figure they had a coating on them new. I still say use a scuff pad to uniform it before clear. No matter what you do, it sure as heck looks better.

Hey junk.. No using the right key... Really any gm.key works because in the past i took key cylinder out and removed all the pins so that any key will work.

Polished as best I could with what I had and time I think it's okay I'll get a small wire wheel in there tonight finish it. Now how do I get it to stay like this just clear coat?

i don't know of any clear intended for use over bare metals.

Quin theres obviously more to that story lol.

If I used like mothers aluminum polish would it add a protective coating? I'm trying think of anything at all

Mother's isn't a protectant in that light. It's a polish that you wipe off.

Junk your the one who does the car body stuff for a living. I know there's got to be something out there

I used high temp clear coat over clean aluminum. We'll see how it holds up

Thats probably a good choice, Blue. I was gonna say if theres clear engine paint... but didn't think of wheel paint. When using real (2K) clear, there is an etching wash that can be used first. Clearing over metal is an unusual scenario.

Yeah it is. But our torque stars are clear coated polished aluminum.

Finally dropped my trans off to Andrew for the much needed rebuild!.....last Friday, not today!.....but still happy none the less.

Thanks blue I will definitely try that
