LeDevil Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 I saw someone do a walk threw on how they refinished there rims and made them look new I think it was Pacific Coast Datsun. But I can't find the post now now so does anyone have any tips for cleaning these up to look almost new? Quote Link to comment
Pacific coast Datsun Posted May 7, 2009 Report Share Posted May 7, 2009 Those look like the sand cast Libres [rough finish on spokes]. If so i took a small wire wheel on my drill & spent bout 1 hour on all 4 spokes..this is after i had to remove the red paint w/ remover... i even did the backs...... Ive yet to sand & polish the lips on them. Heres 1 of the Z rims i did for a comparison... before... then wet sanded with 320, 400 then 600 grit & polished with brown rouge on a buffing wheel on the drill followed by Mothers polish by hand...
