g60_Pete 0 Posted June 6, 2005 has anybody tried polishing any car parts themselves? i have a totally fubared spare alloy wheel and have been thinking about polishing it up by hand, its the perfect guinea pig! not only will this be a bit of fun but if i can actually polish stuff the way i'd like to think i can i can offer a lovely service to you lovely corrado people! down to business! i presume you need a hard cutting compound, some fairly tough grade media (similar to wet n dry only not) and a great deal of time, followed by a soft media and a less cutting compound, more like a rough polish and even more time! tell me if im way off or right on, going to have a go at doing the spare just to see what results can be gained at home, then hopefully do the whole set and maybe some estorils too :D cheers guys!

billinjah 0 Posted June 6, 2005 thats the general idea you can buy polishing kits from car shows that include everything but it is damn hard work polishing isnt actually that expensive theres a guy called lowvento who will do a set of 4 wheels for £175 which is a bargain!!
