So I been so busy cleaning other cars I don't always have the time to do my own. I removed my rims to change my brakes and rotors and was sick with how they looked. I had these rims for 7 years and they got pretty beat up with break dust(I have a f150 so those who know they throw some crazy dust). I was actually thinking of buying new ones and selling these so I figure why not try and polish it. I wasn't sure if you could polish teflon without damaging it but I didn't care really since I wasn't planning of keeping them. So I tried some test spots and then my detail mindset took over.

I used 105 then 205 with a terry cloth because the microfiber towel wasn't working as well. Then went back with klasse AIO and used Qtips on the hard to reach areas. Then 2 coats of klasse S/G. I would say I took about 8 hours to wash, polish, and seal 2 rims. I got 2 more to go, hope my fingers don't cramp up on me. I think I'll be keeping them now lol.
