Wheel shine.

Hi,

I need your opinions.... and sugestions...

I want to work on my 88 firebid GTA wheels. I was thinking of using grade 0 iron wool to get rid of things that are stuck and harde to get off. should i maybe sand them?

I am focusing on the shiny part not the gold colored..

thanks

Yup, best way to get em perfect is strip the clear, polish them out, and then re-clear them. Check out that sticky.

Little bit more work, but IMO...they look much better without the cast lines in them.

Holy S**t!

Those were beutiful!! How did you get them to become that shiny. Did you do it yourself or have them custom done?
