70'sChevyGirl Posted September 28, 2009 Share Posted September 28, 2009 Since we just bought this 70 Camaro I decided to try out some Metal Polish on the rims and the front bumper. They were all in pretty bad shape because I don't think anyone ever detailed them before. Here are before and after pics. This is the nasty looking bumper that I was working on: See the difference: The rims weren't in much better shape when I started: But when I was finished: My dog was even amazed: The front rims turned out great too: I ended up not being able to finish the back bumper but I will finish it when I get a few extra minutes. The Metal Polish is very easy to use but next time I will wear gloves because I hate that black guck up underneath my finger nails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do guys and girls think? will the metal polish work on them?? Just hold off until your paint has cured and the streets are cleared up in a few weeks hopefully, and bring it over here and we can give it a try Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
