For all who have polished their own rims:

[hockeyman]

My Sergeant has a 2000 T/A with 16" rims that look exactly like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=43956

My question is, he wants to get a nice shiny finish on them by summertime. I know that we can polish them up, but what kind of product(s) are good for this? Example; Buffing wheel, compound, stripper, etc?
Also, we aren't starting this until the weather is a bit nicer, so time is on our side ;)

Thanx in advance :D

I never did it but do a search at cz28.com...

I did a small search off the top fo my head they recdcomended about a can of airplane stripper offered at most advanced autos

Airplane stripper, then get the elbow working with sandpaper. Working from about 300 range all the way to 1500.. then polish with alum. polish compound. You can use a dremel tool to help with the corners.

My Y2k wheels were polished by hand. You can take a look.

Thanks guys! I'll get the stripper and some polishing compound this week.
Rims look good teal!
