hi guys
anyone know how to get the polished outer rim back to the mirror finish on gt3 classic sport alloys?
i cant take them off and send em all away as its too costly right now and i dont have axle stands.
I have started to rub one down with emery cloth followed by wet 'n' dry and it seems to work but veeeeeery slooowly!!
Any ides would be appreciated..
thanks
peter
Nothing wrong with the technique, but to do it properly is a slow process. Have you thought about a quote from a mobile Wheel Repairer, they can do it at your place and they have the axle stand problem :?:

Hi Bob
Thats great buddy, i will look into it as too much of a pain getting the stands then sending the wheels off with the car balancing on stands the whole time at home..lol plus the whole cost doing it that way...great if someone can come to you...have to say though that i have found it rather satisfying polishing the metal to how it should look..i may have found a new therapy there...trouble is, as you say, takes aaaages...took me a few hours to do about 9 inches of the rim and to be fair its still a long way off...if i do it myself i'll keep you posted. expect to here from me around the time we're hosting the olympics...lol
cheers

fyi I had the exact same wheels on my Boxster and the rims are particularly prone to devastating corrosion, and once the alloy rust gets hold under the laquer there is nothing you can do to prevent its murderous progress. I was told that for refurb the wheels need splitting as the rim is a different metal to the inner (spokes etc.) and you will have to find a specialist to do this... the wheels (IMO) look stunning but are a nightmare to keep smart. I am guessing you are expending energy polishing off the laquer first as you need to remove this before you can attack/polish the metal of the rim??
:sad:
Once the wheels are sorted. Can I recommend using the Autoglym Tyre Product, on the wheels and tyres every time you wash the car in the winter. The Autoglym then gives the tyres the "gleam" but the stuff also gets into the tyre/rim interface and stops the corrosion getting a hold out of site so to speak.
