Restoration of factory GM aluminum wheels - Plating Powder Coating Buffing Anodizing

TurboMan · #1 (**permalink**) 07-28-2002, 05:39 PM

I have a set of factory GM 16\" \'GTA\' wheels that have spots in the aluminum. They almost look like big rain spots. The spots are a faint white color. I have removed the clear coat and it\'s still there. Tried some metal polish and that did not help either. So I was looking on the Caswell site but am unsure of what exactly I need. From what I\'ve been reading I need both brown and black compound. New to buffing so I really don\'t know much about this.

Yes, both brown and black.

I\'d suggest you read our free buffing manual at http://www.caswellplating.com/buffman.htm

Let us know if you have questions after reading the manual.

Thanks Caswell, I just received the order. Going to read this week and start buffing this weekend.
