Strip and polish

[Superior_Details]

Boss's spare rims for the viper. Clear coat is starting to peel so he takes it to a place to have it bead blasted with plastic beads... I seen this coming, pitting and not a good finish what so ever. At least he stops and checks his work. Stops me yesterday and takes me to the rim to see what i could do with it... told him a price and brought it home.
Here is what it looked like when i got to start on it.

I stripped the clear off with Tal Strip paint stripper, then had to sand with 1500 then 2000 wet sand paper. polished by hand with M105 and then Mothers with the power ball. Finished off with wheel wax

Great looking job!

 

[Superior_Details]

what was total time spent?

Probably right around 2 hours, with letting the wheel wax sit for a while, the hardest part was mothers... we all know what a mess that makes

Nice work. I've also found M105 to work very well for polishing metal.
