went into A class today they wanted 80$ per rim, thought that was a bit rich, so like the tight arse i am i had a test to see if i could get them any better
left one is the one i had a crack at

this was only 5 minutes of test polishing all i used was a car polisher and some autosol
im very happy with how this quick job came out(and my bank is too :D ) im going to get the tyres striped(which are forsale) and give them a real hard polish, then a hand polish using a finer metal polish then repaint the black bits, i they should come up even better than the pic

$80 a rim sounds pretty reasonable

They will come up good by hand if you just wanna clean them up. Ive been polishing my inlet manifold and it totally sucks ass, the casting is so rough

Im thinking of taking it in with all my pipes, Aclass said about $140 for the inlet manifold cause its rough as and lots of hard to get to bits

I got some chrome bumpers now too so ill be going to Aclass anyhow with all my chrome bits
