July 17, 200521 yr comment_58423 Wow! how did you do it? with a Rag and some rubbing compound or did you use something else? Report
July 17, 200521 yr Author comment_58432 drill buff is your friend.... :( cutting compound on them first and then using a polishing wheel..... i went out this arvo and bought myself 2 brand new polishing wheels....i'm gunna need them Report
July 17, 200521 yr comment_58506 buy a large calico wheel for the bench grinder, makes big jobs like this heaps easier :( of course you need to own a bench grinder first lol, perhaps you could thread one onto an angle grinder? Report
July 17, 200521 yr Author comment_58536 hehehehe.....i dunno about the bench grinder...i'd get sick of holding the wheel up there for so long :(...i do have one though. heres a pic of what tools i'm using atm to polish them up....only takes about 20mins a rim Report

July 17, 200521 yr Author comment_58545 yup.....mine should come up like that when i chuck the new wheel on the drill.....:( btw: autosol polish is a godsend! Edited July 17, 200521 yr by Xany Report
July 17, 200521 yr comment_58567 steel wool tends to scratch chrome, so do scotch brites calico wheels are far better imo and you get a far better smoother finish with a high speed polishing wheel than you could ever get with elbow grease Edited July 17, 200521 yr by Super Jamie Report
