Polishing alloy wheels
Greenie - 31/8/14 at 04:59 PM

Hi there, on the new car I have 13 x 7j minilite wheels, blacks centres with polished alloy putter rims (if you know what I mean), the outter rims are a little tarnished and need polishing back, something I would like to do on the bench, any ideas of how to achieve the best finish?

Autosol and lots of time and effort works well.

If you can find some try California Customs Original Purple Polish , make Autosolvol look absolute crap

That's not that yard to find if you're prepared to pay for the postage from the US or down under.
