Well I feel like I have read every thread on here. I just ordered some materials to start polishing the lips on my wheels, but I have a couple questions.
1. I have read that you should polish one way, then switch to 90 degrees from the original motion when switching compounds to get rid of scratches, how would I do this if the lip I am polishing is only about 1.5 inches wide.
2. Is red rouge the same as jeweler's rouge, and whats the best wheel to use to apply this.
3. I ordered a spiral sewn wheel, a loose cotton wheel, emory bar and white bar. Now the condition of the lips is pretty good, i just want them to have the show car finish, is the brown/tripoli necessary, I have read in a bunch of threads that on aluminum, most people skip it.
4. Whats the difference between using the white rouge and white liquid rouge, any advantages by using one over the other.
Below is a picture of the area Im working with, gets kind of tight by the spokes.
