The ones int eh pic above are from craigslist and not mine haha And every time I've polished them it wears away really fast :( Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I haven't polished mine since I put my car back on the road a month or so ago... Maybe it's the polish you're using? do they still have the clear coat on them? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I haven't polished mine since I put my car back on the road a month or so ago... Maybe it's the polish you're using? do they still have the clear coat on them? I don't know. It's a Mothers mag and aluminum polish, so I'm not sure if it's very good. First time I used it on rims. How would I know if the clear coat is still on them? Quote Link to comment
PurePontiacKid Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm not sure how to tell if the clear is on if it's 100% intact... mine's still slightly there in some places... lol And the Mag and Aruminum porish is pretty good.... I used it on this Enkei 92 for like 20 mins after I hit it with some 2000 grit sand paper: and it still looks like that.. of course, it stays inside the garage so yea lol Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Hmmm, maybe I should just wetsand it before I polish to make sure the clear coat is off? Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 UPDATE!!!!!!!!! I did paint the other day on the other side. Also took the paint and chrome off the bumper and polished the metal. Then cleared it to see what it'd do. Opinions? Got the Mazda dash parts out and started looking into mounting options. Any ideas guys? Any help would be appreciated. AND NOWWW for the WTF moment of the day......... Why do I have rust inside my sealed beam headlights? Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 19, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2010 Mock-up in the first 2 pic, final is mounted to the frame. Not perfect, but it will do until I get it covered and make it look like it belongs. Quote Link to comment

PurePontiacKid Posted May 20, 2010 Report Share Posted May 20, 2010 it's because your wheels aren't polished. Quote Link to comment

metalmonkey47 Posted June 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2010 More updates in the "Sponsored" thread I'll be moving all those updates over here as soon as I start the paint process in a few weeks. It's gonna take me a while to figure out how to get a paint booth set up without attracting attention from code enforcement/neighborhood covenant. Quote Link to comment
