DIY wheel polish

Hey,

So thought I'd do a little thread to show the results of a weeks work, my wheels had got water stains under the lacquer which I couldn't get out so thought sod it I'll get the wheels re-done, so had the dipped and primed on the interior locally and wanted to polish them up my self




this is what the et looked like when I go them back from being powder coated! the guy said it should take about 4 hours per wheel to get a good shine ………………. It really didn't.



This was after taking the the paint off and rubbing the wheel down with 180grit paper, it took ages per wheel due to the little set in bits.

Whilst looking at them I thought it'd look nice to have the indented writing coloured to match the car so bought some enamel paint

So the was the result after I rubbed the paint down



Then down to rubbing down lots more, next few pics show the different stages

Last one shows the final polish!

Finally back on the car!



Really pleased with the result and finish is great but sanding down was a nightmare!!

i helped a friend do 1 wheel and that was hard enough.well done, good results their
