I polished my 92 heritage 25 aniversary rims-DAMN!

Nothing in the world compares to the shine on those pupies plus 245/50zr16's are good enough for me . It also took me about 2-3 months from start to finish and lots of polish and sandpaper from 300 - 400-600-800---LOTS! later all

Do you have a picture. I commend you on your accomplishment! Polishing rims takes skill and patience.

I will have all pictures up once I figure how to start my own web page ! I know a couple different people with scaners so...it's just a matter of time ! Can't wait! Thanks for the compliment , I still have blisters on my fingers from it , but I got smart and used a polishing set...still that was very time consuming ! I'd rather have polished aluminum ( which doesn't need clear coat ) that chrome plated .

I haven't done anything to my rims yet, but i bought new center caps and that makes a world of difference.
