any links to tutorials on how to polish your own wheels would be greatly appreciated

 

I hope you have a whole lot of time on your hands if you plan on polishing your wheels. I did mine this past spring. Took almost three months, working on weekends only most of the time though... Mine were silver painted and are pretty shiny now. I zoop sealed them after they were finished. I would suggest not doing it but others im sure will say go for it. The downside of doing them is that unless you coat them they wont stay shinny for long from what i understand. Also, my $100+ zoop seal isnt holding up like it was said to, so this spring i might repaint them or buy a chrome set.

 

You sand the hell out of them to get them like that, thats how

 

ive seen slightly better polishing jobs than that before i did myself on some random items that looked like crap anyway. but i wouldnt dare attempt to polish wheels, take a long time and as mentioned it will wear off quick unless u stay on top of em or try to seal em but if you decide to, good luck

 

Yeah, i was expecting a better picture than the above. Mine look better than those, they can look good if you take your time,but i cant really prove it because i dont have pics on the web. I need to get off my lazy *** and get a cardomain site. But i wish i would have just bought some new ones, painted them a different color, or left them alone. Definetly wasnt worth the time to me.

 

hmm can i just pay someone to do it? ahaha...surely there's a shop that can make them look like that ???

 

Ok i got a picture of my hand polished wheels now, that were a PITA!
