Title: Le Castellets - talk to me....
Post by: deanpompey on 24 October 2009, 11:48

Have a set of these, have been polished and laqcuered but now lacquer is turning slightly cloudy in places, so thinking of stripping em down and redoing them, but also considering selling them as i have another set of mad wheels to roll on. but what should i be looking at before/after re polishing?they wearing 195/50/15 yoko's/

also any recommendations for how to go about polishing em? something like this?

I did a test polish on my castellets with varying grades of wet/dry followed by farecla G3 and then autosol followed by belgom alu

provided good results  :smiley:
