Re: how to repolish rims?

Wet sand paper.. I did it to 2 of mine when I found out it was $100 per rim to get them lathe turned.. First, you start off with an 80 grit to take off the clear coat, and the CNC lines, then move up to 120.. 150.. 220.. 320.. 500.. 1000.. 1500.. finally you go over it with a buffer, and some Meguires Aluminum and Mag wheel polish and it's closest to chrome you will get by doing it at home.
