What, you mean thats why my driveway is covered in rust after
a track event wash? My wife loves that we had the driveway coated and
then I put a top layer of rust that won't come out.
I agree, can't over heat the Poly A's. Takes a brillo pad and lots of
scrubbing to get the rims clean.

this weekend with Polymatrix F's)
