Wheel Polishing Help.. Exhausted Every Option I know

**Kix** · 06-23-2010, 09:39 AM

Take a look at these photos.. Kind of hard to tell just how bad they really are from the photos. However I have exhausted every option I know and still nothing is seeming to work on these rims. They look a little better after hitting them with the mothers power ball but not like they should and still look like crap. THese things are shot.. Here is pictures of a rim I havent touched yet.. What would you do?

Looks like somethings gone through the coating and took out the finish, even started very minute pitting. Maybe a harsh or full-strength APC was used. They may have to be refinished in either case.

I would probably try Iron Cut and see if that helped any.

I`d consider buying new ones.

Ditto here - just take all the safety precautions.

I had some pretty crappy looking wheels and ended up just stripping the clear, polishing the lip w/ jewlers rouge and having them recleared.

if he`s going to have them re-cleared, then it would`nt make sense to spend time rouge`ing it... Just have it sand blasted and re-cleared or even powder coated.
