Dave

 

Those are the first Formula wheels I have seen polished. Those look great! You did an excelelnt job. Makes me want to get my butt in gear and polish my wheels.

 

Excellent work!! that is one of the better looking jobs I have seen her to date. Good work!

 

AWESOME job. How long did they take you and did you use compounds or just sandpaper?

 

took about 10 hours per wheel.just used sandpaper and then some polish,no compounds.thanks for the replies

 

looks amazing, great job.

 

Get some pics of them on the car Awesome looking

 

Very sweet indeed! Do mine now

 

Very nice and very shinny!

 

wow, maybe i should polish my firebird wheels

 

did you polish them by hand or with a machine. if you used a machine what did you used. they look so nice. very nice work.

 

I did it all by hand,took my fingerprints off after a while.I will get pics of them on the car in the spring cuz my car is in storage.

 

Look phenominal!!!!! You just gave me somthing more to do!!
I gotta do it now.

boy I love this site!!

Where did you get the chromed center caps?

 

Nice job, very shiny

 

Those look awesome, very sweet! The center caps make it look that much better!

 

I got the centercaps for 50 bucks from this guy andy.Here is his website he has all kinds of nice caps for firebirds and camaro's.http://members.***.net/andyfrangos/

this one was up but got replaced by one of the doubles up in the post so here is this pic again.

 

:hail: :hail: :hail:

 

So what was the process with the sandpaper, if you don't mind my asking. Can you break it down for me, which grits you went with. Cause those wheels just look absolutely beautiful!

 

WoW :hail: :hail: VERY VERY NICE.

 

You sure thats not chrome?! Nice work.

 

Well The first thing i did was clean the wheel of brake dust and all that junk.Then I stripped the clear coat finish off the entire wheel,even the gray painted surfaces.Next i take 220 wet and get the fine machined lines out of the wheel,then i go 320,400,800 and finally 2000 all wetsanding.Then I take my blue magic polish and start polishing, all done by hand.Takes about 10 hours per wheel,so remember once you start you have to finish or else they will look like crap.I think the wheel in the picture i did like 220,400,600,1000,2000.Anyways the y come out the same using both grit combos.The polish is what really does the job though,blue magic.By the way i have a set of 15"firebird wheels(look like the formula wheels,That are all polished up if someone wants them,2 good tires on them,for 350 bucks you pay shipping

 

nice job. they look great.
just like mine now

 

Nice job dude!!!! BTW, I like your cat and the terrarium!

 

I'm crying now. I wish mine looked that good. Guess I shouldn'thave stopped with the 1200 grit. Or else didn't do enough polishing.

 

POLISHED MY FORMULA WHEELS ALSO AND I STOPPED ON 400 ¡¡¡¡¡ AND POLISHED WITH COMPOUND
THEY REALLY TURN OUT NICE....BUT NOT AS NICE AS THIS¡¡¡¡¡
Should i go with 600.800.1000.1500 and 2000
and then compound polish them again ??????
PLEASE GIMME ADVICE ¡¡¡¡¡
THNX ¡¡¡
AND YOUR WHEELS::hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail: :hail:

 

Whoah! Nice! :hail:

 

That was a must see pic. That is some good polishing done on those wheels. Theres a lot of tight curves and crevaces in the wheel design - I can't imagine how long it took you, but it was worth it.

 

Sammy yeah use the finer grit sandpapers but dont use the polishing compounds use the polish called blue magic.you can get it at any auto parts store i think or pepeboys at least. Thanks for the compliments guys.

 

Incredible! I love it, nice work for sure. Later

 

yeah redtail.....Thanks alot for giving me that hint about that blue magic polish...i cant get over the difference that it made on mine. You can see youself perfectly in them now.....what a shine. Nice job on your too...came out realy nice. Thanks again for the hint.

 

Wow these polished wheels look great....

I almost wanna keep mine but one of mine is severely damaged (chunk taken out of it), not sure how it happened, was there when I bought the car. Don't really wanna know how it happened.

Redtail, would you be willing to sell two of them for half price (the ones with good tire ) or do you have to sell as a set? Do they look as good as the pics you posted?

 

Sorry man they gotta go as a set,if they werent polished I would seperate them,but because they have a lot of custom work they all go together.Yes they look as good as the ones in the pic.

 

Those wheels....look...beautiful.

 

Those wheels look great! Thanks for the tip on the blue magic polish. I just started on my IROC rims and the first one came out pretty good. That Blue magic polish really brings out the shine.

 

MikeH ... how did you go about polishing your IROC rims? I thought about doing it at one point.

 

Hey Steve..look for a thread of mine on this board.

 

hehe oh yeah

 

Those look great. I bet they'll look even better on your car.

 

excellent job!! :hail:

 

Rims look awesome!! I dont know if anyone can answer a question for me though. I picked up 4 of those same rims from the junkyard really cheap. The person who owned them must not have been very bright and tried to weld the center caps to the rim. Now there are burn marks towards the center of the rims.Anyway, If I sand them down and polish them will the burn marks come out?

 

redtail- got any pics of them on ur car?

 

can you post pics of the firebird wheels you also did that u are selling? i need inspiration for mine

 

Good job, though this is an old post,

 

I dont have any pics of the 15 inch wheels because they are on my car and it is in storage locked up.But they pretty much look like the ones in the pics.
