polishing aluminum

Peep it, i check out this videos on you tube about chroming your wheels. so i peep it out. took me about two weeks to get to it. first i did one, i was surprise it came out. i was stoked :headbang: so i did the rest and bam had oright looking wheels.
:graduation: So what i did was take some 1500 wet sanding ppr and have at it and not to ruff but enough to see a small shine in it. then you go to 2000 wet sanding ppr and cover your tracks that you left with the 1500 till you know that you've did keep it going. then get your favorite metal polish puts some on your 3" pad wool or foam pad, i used both, and have at it. one other thing is make sure you have time to do all four it is time consuming. good luck yall!!:thumb:

Thanks for providing that Link, Now if I could just figure out how to bookmark it :shead:

 

trying to get these pic's up are proving to be more difficult to do. i do got the pic's just can't get them on.sorry. any help.

 

the wheels i did were US mags, have to admit they gave a little more life to my car.

 

Can't help you on this one....I just figured out the Direct Link thing by accident last week :duh:

 

Lift the car, turn on the engine, and put it in gear so the wheels spin? Sounds like an excellent way to hurt yourself.

 

It does have that element of Danger, sounds Exciting to Me....:afro:

 

no! i didn't lift the car i just did them right there thats why it took so long. i figured that it would take longer but hay what the hell. at that i live in appt. can't do nothing without hearing my manager mouth. I feel you on the degree of danger. what i did is improvise plus not all rims are the same. thats why you must know what your doing before getting in. i used a buffer to polish out my wheels and the wet sanding to get the oxidation off. the video just gave me the idea that it. but after all that the wheels do look cool:}
