    Polishing slipstreams

    i need help to find the easiest way to take off all the paint off some slipstreams,
    i've used paint remover but it doesnt do a very good job. ive spent about a day to get one rim fully polished by hand and omfg never again.
    can anyone recommend a better way or a place that will do it for me cheap asap cause car looks abit mismatched atm
    Thanks in advance

    There is a place in Sunbury that i know of that bead blasts, (bead blast is like sand blasting but less harsh as they use plastic) ill try and find the name for you.

    but there is no way of polishing rims easily, just elbow grease or a drill with a polishing bit like this

    you don't sandblast stainless steel lips.
    You need to polish them. The polishing bit should be able to get found it most hardware stores.

    I wouldn't get them sandblasted, it might damage the finish of the wheels making it harder to polish if it can be polished afterwards, i think it should cost between $40 & $60 a wheel to get beadblasted.

    I just found this

    I recommend these guys too. I had a set of wheels they are in pretty bad condition machined and painted by them and they did a perfect job. Came up looking like new. They also found out that 2 wheels were not exactly straight and fixed it up for no extra charge.
