Polishing is like child birth......

[TurboFox]

You forget how painful it is and until you want to do it again.

It just took me 6.5 hours to strip and polish one wheel and get halfway through stripping the second.

The GM clear coat is garbage and needed to come off. There was some oxidizing so I did 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 and then when at it with a DA polisher. Still want to run another coat on top but I don't have any more polishing pads kicking around so that will have to wait. The castings are no where near as nice at the CCWs which polish up like a mirror.




after stripped and 2000 grit


after da





back out to hell I go to finish the next one

Work is definitely paying off. Finished product looks great.

Very nice, have been thinking about doing the same to my trucks wheels but I have no balls/patience

Stop polishing/modding your "tow rig" and worry about the fox, lol. Get over to the body shop and help them.

Wow...well done.

[TurboFox]

I cant believe i have another two to go...i just got inside.

Mustang will get attention once its back dont worry. I can swap a motor faster than it took me to polish these two wheels today

[Ponyryd]

Lol. Well that one looks really good, were you able to strip and polish the cap too, and whaddya do now, polish them every month or your plan to re-clear?

[TurboFox]

Yes i polished the plastic center cap and it turned out good lol.

This thing stays in the garage and I onky randomly drive it so they shouldnt be too bad to maintain

[AKAFISH]

Awesome work! Turned out great!
