Rims – Polishing, Sanding

Posted by admin on May 5th, 2009 at 07:59am

Hi Guys,

Im my rims … 18" RX8 Mazda
They been media blasted with glass beads so .. Powder coat is gone ..

I polished one by hand with sand paper … and orbital buffer + Foam pad…
Results are nice .. It took me forever …

2nd rim is half done …. some how it has DIFFERENT .. one is chrome like silver this one is dark silver ?? dunno why …

Problem is that there is lots of small "holes" its super hard to sand them out by hand …

I wonder if those greasseless compounds 80 grit can be helpful ?

How much do I need to buy for 4 rims ?
is more lasting then sand paper ?

Can it be used with Drill ?

I guess I need to get some Spiral Sewn for it too right ?

PS, I Guys I was reading that great FAQ. but I would like to hear some real life cases

Thank You All,
