I have a 91 bird and i was wondering if my stock wheels which look like this (bad pic sorry) http://gmtips.com/3rd-degree/dox/tips/wheels/88f/1.gif can be polished to make shiny? thanks

 

well that pic is just to represent the type of wheel you have right?, if it's as bad as i think it is (yellowing and dirty) i would strip the clearcoat and polish the wheel, and then spray another coat of clear to seal the wheel.but yeah pretty much any wheel can be polished to make it shiny again

 

yeah thats just the type of wheel i have. the rims arent dirty or yellow though. can i polish these rims and make them look like chrome, like how you can with aluminum? or do i have to strip the clear coat off?

It's time consuming and hard work, but yes it can be done.

 

if i used air craft stripper, will that remove the clear coat for me then?

 

teah the aircraft remover will strip the clearcoat, that's what i did to take the clear off of my wheels, i bought it in aerosol cans and i used 3 cans. 1 can was like $7

 

alrigh thanks, i got 2 gallons jugs of it left over from other projects, thanks guys!

 

your in for a real treat....... when i polished some rims i was regretting it half way through the first rim.

 

hah, yeah once you start there's no going back!

 

yeah but ive got time, im not getting the car out until spring so i have all winter.
