I'm not sure if the SD has the clearcoat, but if not, I highly recommend Mother's Billet Alum Polish with the mother's power ball and drill.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just picked up a set of Sport Design wheels and I cant help but think they would look really good with the lip polished. Is there a decent DIY writeup on this? Does not look that difficult. (famous last words)

POST 2Original post

Marc, I'm not sure if the SD has the clearcoat, but if not, I highly recommend Mother's Billet Alum Polish with the mother's power ball and drill. It did make day and night difference for me. Less elbow grease too if you use the drill and a porta drill.

POST 4Original post

Hello, I am the one selling the sport designs with the polished lips. My set originally had curb rash on 2 of the wheels. I took it into a reputable wheel shop to fix and ended up polishing all 4 lips to make them match. The cost was $75 a wheel which I thought was very reasonable and came out looking really good.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the info, That is VERY reasonable, I was going to attempt myself since I don't think local shops here will be that cheap, The quotes I got were high. They look great!

POST 6Original post

In my for sale post, I have more detailed pictures that you can check out. Before I was selling the wheels, I was debating whether to spend the money to have them refinished or just sell them with the curb rashes. I have a good relationship with this wheel shop and figured I can get them refinished for cheaper than most people and it would save them on down time. Anyways, if you plan to do it yourself, Adam's make great wheel polishing products.
