    Polished up some CCW's!

    I had a client have some wheels drop shipped to me so I could polish them up and ceramic coat them.
    They are going on this blown C5 'vette. They should look great!

    They were pretty dull, full of water spots, swirls and scratches and the previous owner used some type of acidic cleaner/chemical on them because there was evidence of the cleaner that had streaked and etched into the wheels some.


    They cleaned up nicely and should compliment his electron blue Corvette nicely.


    I used Sonax shampoo, HD metal polish, my Rupes iBrid, Rupes 3", misc foam pads, my hands/fingers (!) a bunch of MF towels, Kenotek leather/vinyl for the tire dressing and BEEDS ceramic coating for the LSP.

    Thanks everyone! Yea, as you all know, it's tough work, and my arms/hands/fingers are shot!!! Glad they were deep/large barrels and lips that I could get the heavy stuff out with machines!

    Fast Eddie: I put in around 6.5 hours into them.

    This is not a job that many would want to tackle, but the end result is stunning!

    IMO:
    Your wheel polishing expertise:
    (that of Lapidist-praiseworthiness)...
    will become the "cause célèbre"
    of the EB C5 community.

    Yes; indeed!
