Got around to polishing my wheels.

I think they turned out great considering how they looked before.........clear-coat was in really bad shape. Im getting some new wheels soon(intro's) so I figured this would atleast get me by til then. Also the car is really dirty including the wheels soo they looked alittle better the other day.

.........need a better camera, this one I have sucks really bad.

Completely striped wheels with stripper, and then sanded down the wheels with 180, 320, then 400 grit. Finished off with eastwood polishing tubes(tripoli and white rough ?).

EDIt: After looking at the pic it looks like i have dent and my paint is faded at the top of the fender.........its not though, paint is new and fender is strait.
