going to polish my xd hoss

[RTM355]

Hey guys today I did a test on one of the spokes.first I just wet sand with 800 grit to get the clear and where it had machine marks. I'm having to do it by hand because the wheels have a black lip and the inside of the spokes are black. I know its going to take forever but my company is slow this time of year anyways what product should I get to polish the wheels after sanding? I used a rubbing compound to test and it came out great but I'm sure it can get better.

That's a lot of compounds where do I get one of those bugging wheels and also those polishing compounds ?

[Budrun]

To be honest I only use black and green. Black to remove the machine lines and green to polish to mirror finish

Sorry man I just edit my last post I had a question for you above. Thanks

[Budrun]

Any hardware store will have them, for example orchard supply. I buy my stuff from caswell plating. Good selection and more bang for ur buck

I wonder how many stick of black and the green ill need

[Budrun]

Depends where u get it. If u get a small amount like the size of a candy bar you will prob need 2. If you get the big brick like I posted that will be more than enough. Watch the polishing videos on caswell stings website or YouTube. It will help you understand how to use the compounds and wheel

Thanks again man

[Budrun]

No prob, now post some damn pics!

Oh I will man all I did was one spoke of like eight spokes I think . I'm going to start rounding up the product this week. I might just go a head and strip the whole rim. And polish everything then seal it

[RTM355]

Okay I'm a idiot there's like 12 or something lol

[Budrun]

You might not want to strip the complete wheel. It's a cast wheel and the aluminum might not all polish the same. Worse comes to worse you could always re powdercoat them

[RTM355]

Did not think about that

Another place you can try for the buffing wheel and the polishes is a major truck stop.. Alot of them carry that stuff.

Any progress pics?

No man sorry the rain sucked really really bad yesterday need to wash wheel over again before I get started .
