[QUOTE="jhein2580, post: 3457983, member: 37893"] Just wondering if anyone has had good luck with polishing our wheels? I bought a second set for autocross rims and I have started the refinishing process. My plan is to have the top lip polished and the fins or blades painted to a gloss black. The center cap area will also be polished because I can not run with center caps at the track. So now that I have the old paint and primer removed and it is down to cast aluminum, I was wondering how much hand sanding is needed until I can hit it with some polishing tools? Does the surface need to look like a mirror first or just minor sanding marks required? I guess my question is what grade grit should be used last before the polishing can begin? Is wet sanding required or is dry sanding good? Hope this makes sense. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Jason [/QUOTE]
