Hi, Mick,

Congratulations on your E! The wire wheels are a lot of work. We've gried lots of stuff, even removing and pressure washing. We just started using the new wire wheel cleaning stuff by McGuire's (can't think of the name, but it's in a pink spray bottle). Works great! Follow the instructions, of course, but basically, wet the wheel with water, then spray the stuff on and wait a little, then scrub it with a brush, then spray it with water again to rinse it off. The gunk just runs off! Just don't leave it on too long. You can spray the second wheel while you're letting it sit on the first, and then scrub and rinse the second one right away...but don't do the other two until after you've finished the first two.

So, when will I get to see this new car of yours? We're having a slalom this Sunday in Tavares. Come out and drive any car you can bring, or just watch - you'll have fun either way. We have an adjacent road course that's a bonus.
:-)
