DannyB Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 i think cleaning your wheels in the buff could be a bit weird! Im sure some people on here may have refurbed some wheels before and will be of more use then me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cossack Posted February 4, 2008 Author Share Posted February 4, 2008 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=132623 was thinkin more along the lines of polishing them to a mirror finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colsoop Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I polished my uk 17" wheels a couple of years ago. A lot of work due to having to use an electric drill rather than polishing machine. If you are just doing the lip, it would be a lot easier and assuming they aren't too intricate wouldn't be too hard to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest dangerousandy Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 yep, on the starlet! I bought a set of almost new MR2 roadster wheels and got my boss to strip them and polish them!! they look very cool! I sprayed them with Llechler clearcoat laqquer to try and protect them.
