I finally got around to doing the rest of my rims, I have to thank Ron (from coltspeed) for telling me about this cool stuff that does it 20x quicker than me.

I think this time around they look alot better;

Did you do the whole rim or just around the outside?

I got to mine with some wet rub sandpaper to brighten them up a bit but nowhere near as good as that...

Cam, sorry to hear buddy :(
Ask the government?
:D


SCORP1: I did the entire rim but the dish poslished up heaps better.. who knows why... I was using autosole and wet&dry 1600grit sandpaper but this stuff (cotton wadding polish) or something like that is fantastic.. just wipe on and rub off and you get that result..

I bought it from Auto1, it comes in a little yellow tub, made by Mazerati called "BRITE SHINE"

Its so worth $12.95!
I recommend it to anyone with anything crome, FMIC, Pipework, it shines up anything!
