had a crack at polishing allloys

[djinuk]

bought a bit of gear to just see how hard it is to polish wheels.

Conclusion, its not exactly difficult, but i wouldnt be a 5 min job, the section on here took me about 10 mins, although it would be easier on the floor with no tyre. I think purely doing lips would be simple enough though.

Good stuff. What gear were you using for that?

I used a kit from this site to polish up a set of wheels for my old Triumph Dolly. http://www.thepolishingshop.co.uk/acatalog/Standard_Polishing_Kits.html
Worked a treat :agree:

Cool, so is all you need then just a normal drill to affix the wheels to?

And does this kit require you to remove the paint first?

I have Nitromors and a drill at home and I'm wondering if to buy a set of scabby wheels to mess around with, lol.
