Re: Cleaning Refurbed/Polished Alloy Wheels
Thanks for your comments and thoughts. I've got some new wheels and polishes but can't seem to improve things at all.
I have a Sisal 6" Mop and Green Polish & 6" G-mop and Blue Polish.
I have tried various combinations from just using the G-mop onto of the existing job to going all the way of sanding from 800/1000/1200/2500 then Sisal then G-mop. After a lot of work it just about got back to the same standard that is already there, far from a mirror finish.
I am currently using them on drill which I expect is only going at around 2000/2500rpm. I wonder if I need something of more power like the bench polishers that go 5000+rpm.
Any thoughts on how to get that mirror finish. Almost regret buying the wheels if I can't get them looking any better.
I am not that bothered about the pitting at the moment as I am sure with a lot of sanding I could get rid of it, where I did go to 800 I got rid of most of it so with a bit more work and starting at 400 I think i could get rid of most of it, but want to make sure I can get the shine before putting soo much effort into removing the pitting.
