thebrannman Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Are my wheels too far gone for metal polish 1 & 2? I know the scratch won't come out but just looking to shine em up.

0 Bill-V8V Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 (edited) That's aren't bad at all, I'll see if I can find you Len's thread on the ones he cleaned for his brother EDIT: This one http://www.adamsforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=11274 Edited June 28, 2011 by C6Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 LDM Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Those wheels look like they can be shined back up, but if you use my method, just be prepared to go through a few 4" focus pads. Like Bill said, just read through the thread I made, towards the bottom are the final results, and if there are any questions I can help with don't be afraid to ask.

0 thebrannman Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 WOW! that was an amazing change...i'm almost certain i'll go for MP 1 and 2 now. probably just do it by hand though seeing as mine aren't nearly as bad. plus I already have some old polishing pads I can use by hand. amazing..

0 thebrannman Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 saw that bronco video before I started this thread. its what got me interested. but i got my answer now and am excited for some results Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 LDM Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Yeah, try by hand first. My brother's wheels were pretty bad so I had to get more aggressive. If by hand isn't getting the results you want, then you may need to step up to a drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 thebrannman Posted July 15, 2011 Author Share Posted July 15, 2011 well, finally got some MP 1 and MP 2 and got down to it. not 100% but definitely the best i've seen these wheels in the 3 years i've owned them. so i'm happy. cleaned it up a little with some APC before hand then the hand polishing commenced. maybe time to invest in some focus pads.....but they should definitely be easier to maintain now. even did the exhaust tip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
