Yeah but even if there black the lip is still polished

I got polished aluminum wheels on my stang and I can spend hours polishing on them and the first time it rains they look like poop. Not literally poop but not as good as they did. Any suggestions on how to keep them looking better longer? I usually use the mothers polish with the powerball...

Those mystic cobras are very cool. People at carshows have a hard time believing that Wish4svts car is a factory paint job.

I would m205 it and go over it with some 3m ultrafina and maybe some m07 show car glaze and then wax it with the wax of your choice. I think ive seen this car in a car show at Dallas Mustang...... not sure though

I have no m105 but still have some m205 and I have to sand and buff a car I painted tomorrow. I have access to 3m compounds right down the road from my shop. Can someone recommend me one that would clean up with the 205? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Mark

Im not using a electric DA im using a Dynabrade thats airpowered. I also use the trizac disc and interface pad

Just curious on wetsanding with a DA. I noticed that sometimes I would have little swooping lines that were real hard to buff out from sanding with the DA. I assumed a piece of dirt or something was on the surface and thats what caused this. So here lately im always nervous and tend to...

Lots of good info in this thread

By the way the paint job was Chip Foose inspired.

Thanks for all the nice comments. The shop in the background is where I work so I always like to take pics in front of it

I live in Mesquite

Its a 2005 GMC Regency truck with a Escalade front end. I had to cut the Escalade fender right above the body line and weld it to the GMC's lower part of the fender. It took about a month to do.
