^ wow 30-40 hours per wheel, i'm still down to do it by hand
- patients is a virtue !

polishing sucks, and polishing the inside of the spokes is going to be hell..
i hope you fucking **** your fingers.

if you dont mind having brushed inner spokes i will polish the faces for you all 4 wheels for 400 including the hex caps and the center disks. turnaround time is about 4 days.

If you still want to do it yourself I understand but like they said without commercial polishing equipment plan on spending somewhere in the neighbor hood of 30-50 hours per wheel to strip and to polish using aircraft stripper/sand paper/ steel wool/ polishing compound

here is my work, these are my personal wheels so you can get an idea of what they will look like

^ not everyone has $10000000000000000000 to spend on wheels for their car bro.

i'm 18 with no job and i just bought a set of bbs rs and a set of 4 lips straight from germany, i will be happy hand polishing my wheels with a fat blunt in my mouth

i'm extremely patient, if it takes 3 days to finish one wheel , so be it !

3 days will get you no where. your going to be polishing these bad boys for months..

Its not the time it takes to do it, its how shitty the work is.

i understand and i'm still polishing them by hand lol

i dont mind the work bro, i'm not lazt and i'm always hipper, i want polished wheels and i'm going to work extremely hard to make it Happen, you should stop being so negative

Fuck that, hand polishing RS faces would be the biggest bitch in the history of ever

[*96tegls*]

^ i have polished a set of wheel before by hand but it wasn't more than a easy 5 hour job !

i know it will take time, i'm a huge DIYer

how long do i leave the media blast/ stripper on for , also do i have to scrub it or do i just brush it on with a paint brush, also how much is needed for all four faces ?

how long do i use the power tools/ compound after sanding and steel wool?

[two240s]

yea, no power tools until you're polishing with polishing compound (white and red)

like this stuff

media blast or aircraft stripper to get the original finish off first

lower # sandpaper (320) up to highest (1500/2000) then very fine steel wool (0000), then polishing compound with buffing wheel. you can skip the polishing compounds but it won't be mirror finish. then the final step is mothers polish

it's seriously a lot more work than you think it's going to to be. I know you said you've got time...but polishing the faces is a huge job if you've never polished anything before.by the time you're done with the faces you'll never want to polish anything ever again

[*96tegls*]

let me get this straight.

All i need to do is buy paint stripper , then start with the lowest Grit sand to the highest, does that mean hardest to soft and finish with mother polish ?
