Man, you talk like you sleeping on the camera or near the camera:). Take some action in the motion and some more light:). Rim is good finished, but I think still need some polish.

How to break your back is more like it.

I got some vintage mags they just looked dirty at first but have pits with corrosion what would I do to get rid of the corrosion I think its a little deep to just sand it out.

I might try and have them glass beaded or powder coated but I like the original look and don't want to spend too much.

Why not use buffing wheel and tripoli compound?

[frozenintears]

Thanks for going to the effort of putting this tutorial together. I think using a finer grit sand paper into the 1000+ range would get you that mirror chrome finish, although it looks like lots of elbow grease. I wonder what the best way to get into those nooks and crannies is though? Drill and dremel bits?

[firehawk97]

im polishing the rims for my 95 camaro.

i built a sand blaster and it got rid of the clear coat and a blue undercoat, but it turned out that there is a layer of powder coat on the very bottom that is VERY difficult to get off (sand blaster would not work)

i used 80 grit to chew through the powder coat, and moved up to 220, then 400, and am doing 1500 2morrow.

Im done 2 rims but have 2 left. Any suggestions anyone????

I almost fell asleep with that voice...

[09204418448]

i was thinkin of doin this on my stock 96 rims. it has circular lining. should i still use sandpapers?

[ghostma13]

@09204418448 not sure what your talking about circle lining

[09204418448]

@ghostma13 if you look nearly at the 1996 vti honda civic sedan stock rims, there is some outlines. i cant describe but if you get what i mean can you halp me?

[ghostma13]

@09204418448 if there not steel or painted you should be ok to do this to them

[ghostma13]

clean them up with wheels polish every once in awile.

[myuzz]

@ghostma13 do I need to apply a clearcoat after? I used aircraft stripper to get the clearcoat off, then sanded, then used rubbing compound and polish. But do I need to reapply a clearcoat?

[ghostma13]

@myuzz best if you dont use clear coat,just keep them clean dry and polished

[myuzz]

@myuzz apparently aluminum oxidizes quickly without a clearcoat? Have you experienced this? because i really dont want to have to resand all my rims if they oxidize

[ghostma13]

if you clear coat them you may have the clear start flaking off and that dont look vary good i just keep them clean and polish them every couple of weeks and dont let water sit on them because thats what makes them dall out

[ghostma13]

[spoondogcuz]

haha its like you were falling asleep at the end.wow! great job and just the info i needed.how do i keep them from dulling after this process?

[paulhunter123]

@spoondogcuz use aotosol or a polish which has anti tarnish protective agents as u buff

[ghostma13]

lol i get that all the time.
