Polishing rims to mirror finish!!

[Bludger]

I was gonna do it, but wasn't game enough.. LOL
That's just the one rim.

I've dremal'ed a rim before, was quite easy. Looks so much better, nearly like new and I didn't even polish it like you did.

If i did polish it, it would have looked a million dollars.

when wet sanding, do you dip the paper in a bucket of water every now and then or put water on the rim?

Well i didn't want dremal the because the rashes are pretty deep and only on half of the lip, so i would've had to dremal the whole lip to make it even.

Dip the sandpaper in the bucket of water.

Finally done it with my front strut! Works a treat . I only spent 20 min on whole thing as its a front strut! But still quite a good mirror finish , not as good as op obviouslt. Used the meguiars one! Got it on special at sca also!
