..well actually using Autosol to clean them up. Apprently they were sent out and professionally polished seven or eight years ago. They were pretty dirty with minor pitting and unbelievably stubborn water spots. I spend an average of just more than an hour per rim. I'll clean them up a bit better when I get more time and actually remove them from the car. My fingers and neck are sore from trying to polish them while they're still on the car.

I think they turned out alright. It was hard to get a good picture, they look much better in person. Don't mind the car itself, its filthy. How'd they turn out?

Heres another pic. Let me know what you think.

 

They look good man.

 

The wheels look real good, now wetsand the car and put on some tire shine

 

ya I'll get around to the tire dressing.. going to finish cleaning up the rest of the car first.

I thought the paint was pretty good.. no need for a wet sanding?

 

looks nice

 

Don't get me wrong your paint looks awesome, but if you look above the rear wheel you can see some orange peel. If you really want a glassy look then go for a wetsand, otherwise it looks good.

 

did you put on a layer of clearcoat on the rims?

 

looks good man! Paint looks great, but its needs wetsanding. Orange Peel! Thats why im sending my Z28 out this Spring to get wetsanded by Oullettes Auto Body. You should see some of there older Corvettes! This guy can paint/wetsand Cant wait to get rid of my orange Peel crap

 

nice

 

The wheels look awesome.

A good wetsanding and buff job can work miracles, trust me. Unless that's the factory paint, then you'll just screw it up.

 

Actually you can wetsand factory paint so long as it is in good shape. It also depends on how thick the clear is from previous years of polishing. Good luck.

 

dude, thats off the hook! i looooove the mudflaps, they look nice on black cars. got any pics of the whole car? i really want shiny irocs

 

That's the problem, most clear coats from the factory aren't very thick to begin with. And 20 years later...

 

i have always liked those wheels.looks good

 

wish i could get mine that shinny. looks great

 

wow you guys have good eyes because I didn't even notice the bit of orange peel...

will a cut polish do the trick, or will I have to wet sand?

thanks for the compliments on the rims... it took alot of effort to get them to shine like that.

 

wouldn't hurt to try buffing it out first.

 

can we see a pic of the entire car now?
