yea there nicely done

ronals are nice, just dont think they would suit the newer polo ??

think there more for old school lol

 

[hannakournikova]

i disagree

 

[Bronk]

ej polishing would be your best bet for polishing alloys

 

[vtrman]

yep eg polishing in lisburn, done my vtr rims for £30 each iicrc. your new best friend will be autosol though! absolute nightmare to keep them looking good!

 

[Ghost]

what u mean keeping them looking good?

lol

dont want to have to keep spraying them etc?

any other finish i could get instead of polishing?

 

[chrisni1986]

when there polished its down to the bare metal so theres no paint on them.. if you let dirt sit on the metal too long it marks them and leaves white spots all over them which then in turn dulls the shine..

 

[Ghost]

frig sake


is it worth it?

 

[chrisni1986]

they look class but do need alot of cleaning to keep them looking mint..

 

[vtrman]

i would try and get them laquered once there polished! i wouldnt have another set about me , had to polish them with autosol at least 3 times a week!

 

[chrisni1986]

puttin laquer on them dulls the finish tho thats why most people dont..

 

[Ghost]

can they be laquered? and if so, does that keep them mint?

 

[chrisni1986]

they can be laquered but most people dont as it dulls the shine and if they get one chip in them from a stone etc then the whole rim will begin to peel... they look class but need the effort to keep them there.. i.e frequent cleans with a good metal polish uch as autosol etc

 

[Ghost]

hmmmm

food for thought now

cheers folks

My polished wheels only needed autosol'd once a fortnight. As long as you wash them regularly you wont need to maintain them that often. DO NOT get them laqured. And as said above, they will look better if they are diamond cut but will prob cost about £60+ a wheel.

 

[Ghost]

whats diamond cut lol?

totally new to all this

Like the face of those.

Only problem is they are laquered so if you chip them it'll start to peel off.

Polishing is probably your best best.

 

[Ghost]

hmmm

yea

getting coilovers asap so want these ready to go

cheers slideordie

Going to hopefully get them done on tuesday

 

[Boydie]

too much effort for you baxterboy - just get them refurbed in a nice hyper silver colour!

 

[Ghost]

im bitwix and between
dont know what to do

 

[2002 Tii]

getting them dimond cutted will probably cost a small fortune as if i remember correctly the machine has to be set up to the individial wheel which takes a bit of trial and error to get right.

polishng would be your best bet, don't get them laquareed as not only does it dull the finish, it will get chipped and/or kerbed and will look a mess and need redone again.

cheers 2002tii
