How long did it take to polish the wheels with Britemax?

If you don't mind---How long did it take for you to do the job?

Ok I timed myself. To get from this:



To this:



Took me 36min. done by hand.



I'll be looking into investing in a cone soon.

I had to wetsand mine to get a mirror finish and then sealed with Rejex. Haven't tried Britemax yet (wasn't out at the time).
Looks like Britemax worked well for you, especially with the time it took you. I will be trying it for sure.

How aggressive sand paper did you do? And how what was your process for getting the sanding marks out?

Incredible job, Eldo!!!

I used 3M wet sandpaper 2000 and 3000 grit to get the fine lines from wiping down the wheels with microfiber towels, followed up with Adams Metal Polish, then Rejex to seal. Used Webril wipes to remove polish. Spent a lot more time with wet sanding then you did but mine had the fine lines from wiping down with microfiber towels. I will try Britemax next time.

So you got the sanding marks out by hand?

Yes with 2000 and 3000 grit wet sandpaper with water. 2000 and 3000 are superfine for polishing metal, gets a mirror shine if worked long enough. I have seen where fairly deep scratches have been removed from uncoated wheels with wet sanding.

Oh, so the 3000 grit doesn't leave scratches on the metal like it does on paint?

I was asking if you got the sanding marks out by hand, not if you got the scratches on the metal out with the sandpaper.
