Muuuuuuuuuuch better! :thumbup: Take it out and do some 360 spins on black top or gravel to get some shine in places and they'll look real. You may want to give them a bath in either Dawn dish soap or as Alpha suggested car wash soap to get the WD40 off because the dirt will stick to it and it may cause problems with the link pins if they get gummed up enough.

Also STAY AWAY from wet sand! :haha:
