TRD3000GT Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 OK, I got the CCW's and love them but they are a bitch to keep clean, They are BARE aluminium and need to be cleaned very well ONCE with buffing tools. I was looking in to buying a felt polishing bob that would fit to a drill and having a go at it myslef? I just need the bob to get in between the spokes with the autosol. If this is a stupidly bad idea I would love to know a better way or if anyone knows a plosher who can come and give them a damn good seeing to on the car. If not I guess Im just going to have to get very busy with autosol and a rag and try myself. I can see it taking near on an hour a wheel to do a proper job ... My fingers will also be battered in the process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Hello mate, I'm on the catalogue mailing list for these guys http://www.frost.co.uk/. They have some good stuff for polishing etc and I bought this kit from them a while ago (somewhere on this page http://www.frost.co.uk/productList.asp?catID=27) Just attaches to my drill and does a bloody good job. You might want to talk to them first though and check they can give you the right stuff, last thing you want is to use something abrasive All the best Matt PS. I was a little nervous recommending something DIY on such nice\expensive wheels so please ring them first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustGav Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 Speak to Paul K over at Miami-GT, they use a polishing guy often to do car parts, and the stuff I have had done has been fantastic. Gav Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Walker Posted March 29, 2005 Share Posted March 29, 2005 £75 for the Junior kit. Worth it to protect them lovely wheels. Its cost you more in Autosol and your own time in a couple of months to pay for itself Gaz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
