                hmm....
                just wondering, but would this process work on something that was already not an anodized silver or machined or polished surface prior to the process?
                like if i were to do this to an already painted/powder coated wheel. would it work as well?

                  You'd have to strip the paint or powder-coat. This is the process of polishing metal.

                      Get small cone bits and a nice corded drill.....oh and a straight jacket cause you will want it about wheel 2 or 3.



                      New tip of the day.

                      Wheels are stripped and fairly polished but smooth or for touch up. Wheel cleaner helps to soften the metal for a better shine. Truckers have been doing it for a long time on tanks and wheels.

                                why not the aerosol stripper? in my experience it works better than the brush on stuff.
