Polished Alloys, looking a bit dull..??

[Harman350z]

For anyone with polished rims &/or Lips..

 

After much scrubbing of my alloy's deep dish rims and having no luck getting the chemical stains and tarnished look out, i tried Megiares All Metal Polish, 2 hours later i had all 4 wheels sparkling.

 

Here is the before and after..

Can only see one picture but they look great. Getting new alloys soon and may get myself some of this.

There are so shiney that I just concentrated on the really shiney part and expected a before picture and after picture. Whoops!!!

yep good stuff, but it will take your laquer off... if you have any!!!

 

Investing in a polishing mop kit that goes on the end of a drill is a good idea, Tony (Chilli Red) used the kit on his too good effect, but thats top work with the megs

I find that my polished lips get scratched. Dirt and much sits in the lip and just goes spinning!

 

I give it a bash with megs metal polish too.

Be VERY careful with your laquered rims BM.

Don't care anymore now, damage is done so nothing to loose.

Current plan is to wait and have the dishes refurbed with a diamond cut finish and then lacquered. If this works out favourably, then it's worth the £9 punt seeing as they will be taken off for the winter.
