POLISHED RIMS TODAY
Got to finish the rims today with my new buffer, they came out like glass! Not that it was easy, after 5 hours of hard labor and a face of grit the rims came out sweet. I removed each rim and polished each spacer, cleaned and shined the new A-arms and hit the rims with cut/ shine rouge then finished with Mothers polish and wow!
Picture does not do it justice. And no I do not have that much rim/ wheel well gap, the car just came off the jack stands.
This polishing thing is catchy. Tommorow I am going to remove the aluminum rocker sills, re- spray paint the the black stripe and buff the crappola out of them. If they turn out like the rims they will be like chrome. Then next week I'm going to buff out the T-top aluminum trim. Wow this can get nuts. :crazy:
