Hey Rixy/Ryan, so you're the owner of the baby blue mk1. Nice write up guide for polishing, hope to do my TT comps properly but need to get all the kit.

Is GUNK the same as nitromors?

no gunk is an engine degreaser, nitromors is a paint stripper

most alloys do mate give them a rub with wet and dry if it leves ablack readue then they haven't if it's white then they have

heres some i done i didnt go no further than 400 wet and dry

heres the befores


after



and then i detailed them with satin black

hey man, that's very nice for 400 wet and dry, I thought it would have been much rougher than that with lots of surface scratches when close up. But your results are pretty good, like the satin black. Almost makes the centre spokes look like they're floating at a glance.

They look that good you think they'd have been chromed, awesome work fella.

Garfay, the TT comps have clear lacquar mate

i also didnt use nitromors just mr muscle oven cleaner the only thing i found that worked

the wheels look really great Rixy - well done! Lee i hope you've read this for when you get round to doing mine hint hint! i might even have a go myself after reading this


well i did say maybe!

I painting yours remember gem, not polishing. Gotta be different to garfay lol!.
But if you wanna job polishing wheels then theres always the cookie cutters in the garage!!

u deffo dont wanna be polishing the cookie's, lol, they will be a right 'ol pain in the arse

Just the rims rixy, centres being painted
