Got the rears polished this morning. Not 100% happy with them and I **** the 'good enough' attitude I have towards them right now, but I'm running out of time and money to keep fucking around with them. I need to get my ass going on buying a house so these will just have to do for now.

Pics:

Mothers polish on the powerball:



After doing each wheel once with the powerball, I did them by hand with the polish and waxed them quick.





Here you can see why I'm not 100% happy:



I don't know where I went wrong. I took my time sanding and buffed the living shit out of them. Oh well.

Got all my wheels buffed with the 3M compound then went to the Maguires stuff I had. It didn't do shit, if anything it made them more cloudy and shitty looking:



So I did the wheel again with the 3M compound then hit it with the Mothers polish by hand:



That'll do the trick.

Once I hit them with the polish on the powerball, I think they are going to look pretty damn good. I plan to start polishing them Monday and Tuesday, put wax on them, then assemble them all Tuesday so I can put the tires on Wednesday.

Pretty much. With cleaning them and stuff, all the wetsanding, and the buffing I've done, I've got a little over 30 hours into them.

This must take like a million years to do

Got one of the front wheels buffed tonight, then looked at the rears and decided to do them again. lol





I'll do the other front wheel tomorrow then hit the one I did tonight again. After that one is done, I'll do the other again. I want to be sure they are as good as possible before moving to the next compound. They already look really good, but I don't want there to be any scratches.

[andybob]

[andybob]

Thanks.

Finished sanding the one wheel with 2000 and cleaned up all my wetsanding stuff. Then started buffing.

Wheel number 1:



Close up:



And outside, they are going to look pretty damn good IMO.



Then I did the other rear wheel. Just so you get an idea of a before and after buff the wheel in the front is done with 2000 grit and the wheels in the rear are buffed:



Just need to buff the 2 fronts with the 3M compound, then do all 4 with a slightly less abrasive compound, then hit them with the Mothers polish. Then wax them, wax the faces, and put them back together. Also finished cleaning all my bolts.
