Took pics with polished rims + Airplane background

Hope y'all like 'em. There's 2 airplanes in the background, a learjet and a gulfstream 5.







If that doesn't work go here, and here.

I need to do something with the center caps, so if anyone has polished caps or know of any ways to polish out these caps, let me know! Also, I plan on updating my site with these pics, so I'll let y'all know when I do.

do you have any pics of the rims before you polished them? i just picked up a set of those rims yesterday. i plan on polishing them, but right now they're looking pretty scruffy.

Actually, the before + after pictures don't show that much difference. It's one of those things where you have to see it with your eyes to see a difference.

Nice pictures. I should have takem some of my Z in the rateon(sp) hanger at TIA when I worked there. Lots of Gulfstreams,lears,cecnas etc.. Is that a G5.?

Anyways, if you peel the words off your caps they will polish up nice man. You have seen mine. If not here ya go.

It takes about 2 weeks to do one rim, but I don't work on them every day and when I do, I only get an hour or 2.

The plane up front is a Learjet 60 and the one in the background is the G5.

How do you polish the plastic caps?

Too much, it's nearly impossible to see at night, and it's starting to bubble.

Here's a comparison of the rims before + after.

Like I said, I don't work on them every day. That and it's not just polishing, I have to tape it up and paint too.
