Default Re: Repolishing questions

OK, today I attacked the bike with my grinding machine spinning at 11,000 rpms
and I hit the front wheel with brown first. I was careful to go one direction and
not touch the metal for too long with the wheel. After I did the entire lip, I wiped it clean with rubbing alcohol and dried it. Than I put a soft wheel and
put some white on it. I was getting alot of black where I was touching with
the wheel but after a few seconds of keeping on it, the black seemed to go
away slightly and the metal started to shine. After doing the whole lip on one
side with the white, I wiped it down again with the alcohol and stepped back
and compared it to the other side. Keep in mine I'm doing this in a public
garage and the lighting is not that great and it's 9 at night. To be honest,
I'm not too sure if I did anything at all? The rim wasn't really shining much more than anything else on the bike. I'm going to take it out in the sun tomorrow
and check it out. Any suggestions or tips guys? Does anything I did sound
wrong?
