Hi ENV,

can you give us a quick guide on how you polished your wheels?

what tools and products do i need and how long did each wheel take?

cheers

blimey.

they took 12 hrs each

you will need lots and lots of sand paper.

you will need a sander.

you will need velcro backed sand paper.

you will need wet and dry paper.

you will need more wet and dry paper.

you will need a drill with a polishing bonnet or mop.

you will need a tube of metal polish.

you will need a lot of patience.

you will need to grow your fingerprints back once you have finished all the polishing!



i started at 80 grit and wrked my way to 300 on the sander.

then i went to wet and dry.

i started with 300 wet and dry and worked my way through all the grades to 1700.

then you need to spend around half hour - 2 hours (depending on what finish you have)with the polishing mop and polishing paste.

christ, i'm glad there only 14s!

you can get polishing kits from
