Had 2 wheels refurbed and retfitted today FOC courtesy of a dodgy tyre fitter so decided to tidy up the one I curbed last week when my front right looked at a curb!!
Before
Mask it up to make sure you don't damage the good surfaces
15 minutes with 600 grit wet and dry
Keep going for another 15 mins reducing coarseness of the wet and dry (1000, 1200, 1500) and finally 2000
Finished it off with some Goddards silver polish and some auto lacquer (£2 off eBay) and once the lacquer dried washed and cleaned the rest of the wheel
Very pleased with my first effort of alloy refurb and now have 4 near perfect alloys again.
