dave get a autosol or meguires stainless steel polish. they work good mate.

[Dave1986]

I got my mate to order it for me yesterday afternoon while i was at work, he txtd me this morning saying it was here already :D Great service... Ill buy a drill sometime before the holiday monday and give it a bash if i get some time

[Asi]

good news dave.

[reganlives]

hmm now this thread has got me interested...my spare wheel is corroded really badly so basically with one of these kits would it be possible to polish it? how big a job/difficult would it be?

aztec have u tried this kit mate?...

[Asi]

that kit would do the same thing mate but it will cover less area than the one me and aztec have.

I'd use that kit for the more detailed items mate, the kit that Asi and myself use has the wheel mops, which are probably more suited to the job your thinking of doing? :)

Is it a difficult job tho mate polishing up the wheels? Whats the chance in me damaging the wheel itself?

The wheels are quite easy to do mate, but you will need to respray them after being polished, Because it will remove paint around where your polishing

[Dave1986]

The dish on my wheels were like mirrors when i got them, now there kinda...buggered

Wonder if using this kit will make them a bit better or ruin them even more?

Hmmm, could you use that kit to potentially polish the whole wheel? That sounds interesting but I'd imagine it would take a lot of sanding to get the painted surfaces down to bare metal

[Dave1986]

iv only had time to try out the polishing kit on my strut brace so far, used the blue then the pink bars, heres a few pics :)

[Asi]

looking good dave. after using the pink bar use autosol or meg metal polish they work quite good aswell.

[sparkystav]
