Yeh thats fine, I do seem to have quite a lot of my hands!Tim_GTi wrote:Yeh if your patient and know what your doing. It takes alot of time and coats
I redid my friends (csc4life) sport 13"s yesterday in black and it went quite well and that was a pretty quick job (start to finish in 7 hours!) So i've had a bit of practice now too! But If I spend like a week doing mine properly should be fine!
Cant Wait!

it's really bugging me aswell, I used Meguiar's all metal polysh, it says "Anti-corrosive agents fight against environmental attack and degradation" it's not rusted a lot but I do have a lot of black pitting that's developed...
it's hardly noticeable if I polish it every week but it's been a real pain with all this rain.
anybody had a successful and practical solution?

Guys just laqaur them again iv autosoled mine after going thru the grades to 4000 and then i moped them with autosol, propa bling daddy!
Then i clear coated and it loses a little sheen but is the most practical, rtegular cleaning will be helpfull and not curbing lol!
CLEAR COaTING IS THE FUTURE, im a sprayer btw and every polished lip we repair we clear coat.

To be honest im a sprayer and only recomend Glasurit products as we work on rolls royces and bentleys but pay a bodyshop to spray clear coat on them, wont be much at all and if u use like a spray can clear coat it will be thin and really crapy, Pay a bodyshop to clear coat them, its thicker and ul get a better finish pal!
