    rim restoration

    had a friend that bought 1 new rim and asked what could i do for him

    I told him I would do my best. I asked him a hundred times where the rims chrome and he said he was 100% sure. So working with my pc and some old pads I used pp to get some progess on the rims.. I c a big difference..but they are not going to look like the new one.


    I would like to ask, is there something I can hook to my pc to get small spaces.
    and anymore recommendations on my effort

    By the way they are the star factory rims that u see on these transams...maybe a 2000.

    I imagine that those are clear coated hi-polished aluminum. You would treat them like you paint. Pro Polish, SSR2, etc should work well.
