16X8 Formula wheels Polished SHINE ENOUGH?
This is how my polished wheels look today.
Can i make it shine more or that's OK ?
i think they look great and better that any car
on the streets.when the sun shines on the wheel
they look real beautiful! But i don't know if this shine
is enough or is it weak? I polished a year ago the complete job (they was awful)and since then...i quick polish here and there.
last quick polish was 2 weeks ago.
YOU TELL ME. ..i've seen better shines but
how can i get it?

They look good to me, too. Mine are a mess! Come here and do mine, lol.
The clear coat has come off in many spots, and the aluminum is corroding. I'd love to get them chromed, but I've heard scary things about the chrome failing and causing slow leaks around the bead. But chrome with the black car would look awesome!
So I'll settle for a great polishing(which would probably have to be done with a grinder). Any suggestions?

And that polish job looks cool, ive seen much more shiny ones but yours has this very aftermarket wheel looking polish, almost a solid looking colour without enough shine to make you go blind. Me likes.
