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?...

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 :whistling:

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 :unsure:
