i just dropped them off, picking up tomorrow... will get pics

well the results speak for them selfs, i used the 2 things to show the reflections on the rims well worth the money and 1 day turnaround was awesome Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

thats an awesome finish , considerd doing the rocker cover aswell?

it will just get covered in oil again (my motor is ****ed but going strong)

any places in sydney that do wheel polishing for that cheap? hehe rims are 17" 3 piece. ^ the polish wheel came up looking shmick as!

just look up metal polishing in sydney in www.yellowpages.com.au (http://www.yellowpages.com.au) but the calais rims are very easy, as they are flat rims

man they look pretty good hey, heres a pik of my hsv rims and i done em myself and after a month Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

are they 16's or 17's?? and pretty badly tarnished they need another polish

yea, they must of used wheel cleaner on mine n didnt wash 1 off properly and its white with teardrops in it.... blows balls

Polish them once a month with the likes or autosol or use a compound and a mop and polish every year or two The shine last heaps longer when you use a compound just a freindly suggestion Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

what exactly do you mean by "compound" larry? as in those sticks?

Like it says on the first page a polishing compound for alloy, get it a hardware store like bunnings or something.

yeah i know, because ive tried using the compound, its josco brand, white stick with the loose wheel, i didnt have good results n went back to the meguairs.... thats y i wana know what he talkin bout lol

can someone give me a shopping list of exactly what i need to polish my rocker cover and the inlet manifold... every1 is saying use this use that, i have no idea what is what.... if i can go 2 the autostore with the list would make it much easier Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

guys, stop the crap we dont want another good thread closed.... now to more important business... the writing "holden" and the "scallops" are they meant to be black? by scallops i mean the bits that go inside and boy oh boy do they get dirty quick!

shaza, how bout you go ***** yourself mate? you aint got anything else better to do than comment on my replys you lazy ****ing worthless prick. thats all i have to say to you and i aint interested in dodging ur p00fslaps so get somthing better to do. now. you will need sandpaper, 400 600 800 1000 1200 1500 2000 4 sheets of each MINIMUM! may want to get twice the amount of the last 3 grades as they wear out quicker A polishing wheel, loose leaf or the rag pad, these arre meant for bench grinders/polishers and made by josco, you will need the drill adapter bit, also made by josco. Personally i use meguairs metal polish, little blue tub with fluro green top, works AUSOME! as you can see of my pictures of the wheel [before it got dirty!] or you can get the white [correct me if im wrong?] josco polishing compound stick i tried both and stuck to the meguairs, worked alot better. you will need a power drill with variable speed and it be a decent branded drill, if your planning on getting those $15 power drills from bunnings or poopercheap, get a few and im pretty sure thats all you'll need? oh and maybe a slab of vb [or the like] and some pretty tuff fingers as the sandpaper will burn through :P all that stuff will set u back around $70 minimum, you can get em polished for $100 as Mad_woG did, but in the end, only takes a short time to polish up after the rub down period is finished. ill be getting some calais wheels soon so ill post up how they turn out too. and have atleast a WHOLE free weekend to do this, may want a couple mates over to get pissed with as its *****ing boring as fark. HAVE FUN! Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
