i've been getting the technique down with some new 'tools'
so heres one I just did (its a practice one):
and in a 'before n after' sort of way:
mr retro fiesta - your guy will NOT get them significantly better than this, and if you can cut all the grime n dirt off with p400 wet n dry, i'll do them for you for £10 a wheel
...using the same gear that professional polishers use, i.e. fabric wheels and felt bobs with 3 different grades of polish compound (course, then medium then fine)except stuck on the end of a drill rather than on an adapted bench grinder
its not the best pic i have to say, and also the wheel has sat in its place untouched for 2 wks gathering dust n fingerprints while i've been busy with other jobs, but there'll be more to come...
Before you attempt to put tyres on this i'd advise some similar polishing effort on the bead seal area/inner rim as well. The shine will soon fade when the tyres dont h old air. Sprint wheels are complete gits to get to hold air. I think the only ones of mine that stay up have tubes...
Look brill though. I dont think Hammerite is supposed to be used on Alloy...though I cant really see why, so the epoxy chassis stuff may be the way ahead too. WHy not try alternate magnolia, red and blue segments to match the dials....
