    Re: fixing scratched rims


    before
    this is the pics in order of process.
    120 grit dry.
    500 grit wet
    1500 grit wet
    3000 grit wet
    this one has all the grits in order counter clockwise.
    aluminum_compound put on with wore out 1500 grit disk
    fine_aluminum_polish put on with wore out 3000 grit disk
    aluminum_concours_polish put on with orange pad
    concours_metal_sealant put on with white pad
    in_polished_stage counter clockwise.
    this is the original compared to the repaired rim
    rim done

    make sure to wipe rim clean between every step. this is my first try at a howto hope it will help out.

    They do look really nice. It's nice to see someone take the time to do such nice work. How many hours do you think you have in the project total?
