wheel refinishing started

[marko]

finally got tired of looking at my scabby cordoba wheels so i got them professionally polished.
im very pleased with the results, i wasn't expecting them to turn out this well
they have been mirror polished and painted, no clear coat.
ive got 2 more sets to redo and then i will start on my mirada wheels.......

They look really good !!! ...... are you going to clearcoat in the future or leave them as is ? My fronts get to looking like the center bottom row rim in the 1st pic. shortly after scrubbing and since I need a wish list !!! lol

THe wheels polish up really well because they are forged aluminun, not cast. Forged aluminum has a much smaller "grain" than cast aluminum, so they end up looking shinier.

I polished out a set of the 5 on 5s (like your wheels) and a set of snowflakes. Both came out looking amazing. I have a couple of threads on here about how I did it.
