Dazzling Detail is starting a cut and buff process on my bus tomorrow. If it turns out good, I will probably have them ceramic coat as well (or should I just wax a couple times a year). Sidney's bus with ceramic coating looks great but it is expensive. Any thoughts on ceramic vs wax?

Also, I have the T.Kane Enterprises caps. They look good but checking the wheel hub oil requires removing the 4 allen head screws on edge. Re-installation takes time as well. Not very handy. I also don't like the bracket that wedges around the stud piloted nuts. It gets all bent to heck and makes it hard to keep the socket on the stud nuts when removing or tightening.

So, I have purchased the Real Wheels smooth face cover up caps. Checking oil is a simple two screw operation (and the screws are facing toward me and not on the edge - usually the bottom edge with my luck). I also like the bracket better which clamps to the stud.

The product is new (not sure how new). Anyone feedback on these covers?

Liberty uses those Bill way better than the tkane.

Nothing new about the RWC wheel covers. I switched to them years ago and have had no problems. Some may have fitment problems if your wheel studs don't have enough exposed threads.

Dazzling Detail (based out of Florida) has started work. Amazing what can be done to restore older paint. Check reflection vs surrounding area. They have a facebook page if anyone is interested.

Hi Bill,
Had the pleasure of meeting Paul Newman while we were at Olympia. Good man, great business and cousin to our friend Mark Fields - who does most detailing at Pelican Lake. Indeed a small world! Coach looks Amazing!
