1astrokeit Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 i picked up these wheels and they were pretty bad shape. the lips needed to be redone, so i figured i would give it a shot. so i started wet sanding with 220,500,1000,1200, and 2000 grit. after that i hit it with buffing wheels. i buffed in this order, tight sewn with tripoli and loose cotton with white rouge. i applied mothers mag and aluminum polish. they look good from far but up close they have fine scratches in them. anyone happen to know how to get them out? should i have buffed white rouge with tight sewn wheel? the first two pictures are the before and the bottom are the finished product http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af123/1astrokeit/th_rim1.png http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af123/1astrokeit/th_rim2.png http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af123/1astrokeit/th_rim3.png http://i1000.photobucket.com/albums/af123/1astrokeit/th_rim4.png Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No DRFT Posted March 28, 2012 Share Posted March 28, 2012 Looks better than before. I think your mistake was using the 220 grit. I think it's a bit too rough on the surface. Try polishing it a bit more. I have no control over drippie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
