Polishing Alum. Rims on Motorcycle
I would like to get some advise from you guys before I start my first polishing project. I have 2 motorcycle rims made from cast alum. that I have wet sanded down with 320, 400, 600, 1000 and 1500 sandpaper. They look great now but I'm ready to move on to the polishing stage. I have ordered a kit from caswell that will fit on my 4.5" angle grinder, I got the 8" wheels, I plan to slow the grinder down a little by the use of a reostate (variable resistor). My questions:
I plan to start with the black, but how long should I use this color, I know it depends on the work with sanding but wanted to get an idea for guide lines on each color, what to look for to move on to the next compound.
Will the angle grinder give me the results of a polished mirror finish?
Will the 8" wheels work with the angle grinder?
When completed I was looking at the Zoopseal, does this work and I read that it has a life span of 2 weeks while in the refrigerator, it this correct?
