here's a question for you larry. i'm going through your instructions at the moment and found it a bit difficult to put the polish on the buff wheel. how did you apply the polish????

If possible can anyone else put pics of their rims done (just for comparrison) Cheers - Chris

Spin the mop in the drill and hold the stick of polish on the mop for a couple of seconds

where abouts did you buy the polish from, the autosol just isnt giving a good shine for me.

I got my polish from bunnings its right next to the buffing wheels in the power tools section. I've finished one rim, will post some photos tomorrow Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Goodstuff larry! They turned up a treat man.

big question... : how long does the polished look last? i was told after a month it starts getting cloudy again... also is there anywhere in sydney that any1 knows of who does a good job.. ? Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

I'm guessing you would have to keep them maintained like any polished wheels?

Mine are polished and they stay that way for a fair while. depends on when your driving. if you go through any water they lose their shine a bit, but are still good... butu when you use a polish on them they really bling and you get the mirror image Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

this method also works on larger holden rims as well just the fun part is stripping the paint off half a day at least. i did it to my vyss 18"s and the finnish was the same as those picks posted in the tech.

I done mine about 3 months ago and the still have a nice reflection although and car doesn't get driven all that much

well guys i attempted to do the centre cap on mine but i dont have the patience for it so if anyone down in the s.e subs of vic wants to get there wheels polished i just got quoted $100 for all four wheels from a place called advanced metal polishing in dandy. ph 03 9793 5761. you have to take the rubber off first though.
