MJ Vr6 79 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Hey Peeps, Bought this set of Aimee of the Forum..They were quite Fu**ed...She was right in sayin to keep them as winter wheels.. BUT..... For some reason my otha half always loved these Rims for the Mark4 Turbo...To be honest there to bloody common in London, near enuff everyones got em..!!LOLSo anyway, decieded to clean them up and Mirror Polish them..Here's what they looked like initially!!!!So this is this condition how they arrived at my house..After a bit of TLC.... The result came to this!!!! So what dyu guys think...?Dont forget these other MK4 polished rims are still up fpr grabs..!!! :-p Link to post Share on other sites
**VR6** 1 Posted December 11, 2008 Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Very nice mate, What do you use to polish them up? Link to post Share on other sites
MJ Vr6 79 Posted December 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 11, 2008 Very nice mate' date=' What do you use to polish them up?[/quote']Not an easy process im afraid..Start by strippin Lacquer, mind your skin dont get burnt at the same time..Then plenty of sandin and smoothin down.. Depends how bad the corrosion is.. On these, 2 of the wheels I started with P90 right up to P1200..Then polish away with compound.. We use this compound at work, so have been usin this stuff for the last 18years!! Good stuff...!! Link to post Share on other sites
