i want to get my stock rims on my 1985 TA to shine really nice, and i dont really want to sand them and do all that because i'd probably mess them up, lol, is there anythng you can do to just make them shine really nice and last a little while?

 

Unfortunately you need to strip of the clearcoat in order to do anything to the metal to brighten it. You don't have to sand though. You could strip the wheels and polish them with a buffer and white rouge, then repaint them with epoxy color and clear, or else have them powdercoated in color and clear.

 

is there a tech article i could read that doesn't involve sanding, or could you explain it a little more thoroughly?, thanks for your help so far
