  • Polishing stock 5 spoke wheels

    I guess I just don't have enough to do with school, girlfriend, friends, two bands, choir, recording, and all that, but I've decided to go crazy with sand paper. It all started by sanding off the over spray on my headlights bezels, then I realized you could sand other plastic parts and got to work on the taillight covers but since those look pretty good I decided on another project... polishing my rims by hand! Anyone else done this with the stock rims? The ones that are a B#$@!% to clean because of all the slots? If you've got pictures, love to see them even though I've already started. Also, tips on polishing, I spent about 2 hours getting a tenth of one wheel sanded till I got rid of the little ridges and my hands are killing me. I'll be posting pics and things to keep you updated should look great all polished up.

      Sanding these things are a major pain. Ive heard some horror stories about them. You'll be there for a while unless you get yourself some power tools. Good luck.

        When I decided to polish them I wanted to do it right and get up close and personal with my car. It's been a fun experience so far though I think I need gloves, my fingers are bleeding around the nail after two days of this. Could someone do me a favor and check if March is still on the homepage for f-body of the month? Thanks,
