Autosol + Mop = Very Shiny

Thought I'd try using Autosol metal polish with my mop.
I was really pleased with the result and it only took about 5 mins per wheel to do.
 :D


Top is before and the bottom wheel is after

Cracking results mate.

I do mine by hand (takes a few hours per wheel lol)

Im thinking of getting an atatchment to use on a drill because if my shoulder crunches anymore ill be in trouble lol

I was amazed how easy it was.
I used the Autosol with a standard polishing head at about 2400rpm to apply the polished then using a microfibre cloth removed the excess black oxide. The using the mop with the same polishing head I turned the mop up to 5000rpm to buff the wheels to a shine.
No elbow grease required just hold the mop firmly  :D

I supose i would be better off using a grinder as the rpm can be controlled then.

great results

i want to invest in a DA polisher soon, maybe like the meguiars one Euro has on deal at the mo, guess that would give same results

top work, alot better then killing your arms and shoulders to bits (ceri) :-)

Rich
I brought a Silverline mop via amazon for about £60 including loads of heads / cloths etc. it's a lot cheaper than the meguiars one. I only very rarely use the mop so I went for a cheaper mop, no doubt if you plan to use it regularly the meguiars one may be better quality.
They are diffinately a lot easier to use than spending hours polishing by hand and can save money oppose to getting your wheels professionally pollished.
