Looks good. Now you can understand why I got rid of those wheels and went with some chrome lips. I hated polishing the lips to keep them only looking halfway decent compared to my chrome lips on the TF's.

Hell yea, it's a pain in the ass. I was thingking about sanding the lips and polishing it but i don't want to mess the wheels up so i guess it'll do for now. Well, until it's to upgrade of course.

I feel your pain. I buff mine out about twice a year and it's definitely not fun, but it's well worth the effort... :beer:

What do you use on yours? I use this stuff from English Custom Polish and Mother's Mini Ball and it helps out alot. I think i'm going to use a cotton buffer next time though.

Right now I'm using Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish with a buffer wheel on my cordless drill. However, over the course of time I've probably tried most of the different brands and types of polishes on the market... :read:

Hando, aren't you in Kingwood? I never see you around when I'm in town. I live behind Deerbrook mall.

Actually i saw your car when i was leaving Best Buy last Saturday. I'm at San Marcos most of the time now so that's probably why you never see me. I'll be in town for spring break and TX2K9 though.
