Hmm

PM me a pic if you can bud, wheel polishing is not something i've got a lot of experience with so dunno if i'd wanna do anything too adventurous on someone else's wheels to be honest but mine came out great on just the lips so would do other peoples for a small fee maybe!!!

Took between 1-2hours per wheel taking my time including removing from the van, cleaning, polishing and refitting.

Not gonna lacquer them just give them a polish every now and again...

Thanks Mart!

Just wet-sanded the lacquer right through to the metal with 800 grit wet/dry then once down to smooth bare metal all around the rim I began to work up to 2000 grit wet/dry then polished using Belgom Alu & Meg's Metal Polish...

I was surprised how easily they polished up!

It's just a bit of elbow grease
