It was from a guy I talked to who had some chrome modular wheels from the 80's. They still looked new after all these years. Remember them? I think back then they were like $45 new each but you would be lucky if the chrome on them lasted 6 months.

I ask him about it and yeah thats when he bought them. And thats when he told me about the Westleys stuff I was buying.

And like you I never heard bad otherwise so I figured better safe than sorry. He says he put dressing on with either the sponges they sell now or wet down a rag with the dressing back then before the sponges were available.
