....they do pick ups from your local tyre and exhaust centre. Did a good job for me.
You need to check if they cover your region tho.
Hope it usefull. :)

cheers :)

The Mercedes coachworks next door to where I work uses spit and polish and they do an excellent job.
Its good if you can get all the wheels off to give to them as they are all sprayed with the same mix of paint, if thats not possible try a mobile unit.

I need to do mine. poxy kerbs >:(

Do you do mobile work?
-
you want your nokia polished?
-
LOL
Mine is titanium anyway!
-
No we don't do mobile work. They're OK if you want your wheels touched up, but if you want the job doing properly then they're going to have to go into a workshop. Everything we do as per most quality refurbers (as is also the case with Spit n Polish) starts with stripping the wheels back to bare metal.

wheelrefurb, you know the whole thing in veedub land at the moment of highly polished rims, what sort of money does that cost? like taking 16" Porsche design 90's and polishing them so much that they almost look like chrome?
-
Some like this JV 8)

That's something I can't help you with. We used to do polishing but it's messy and there was not enough business to make it worthwhile. They look great but then you have to keep on top of it or the finish soon start to dull and corode. I've finished my boring old 9 spokes with a chrome effect paint finish because my wife uses the car every day and it only gets washed once a month. The wheels always come up nice though, I'll post a picture up tomorrow.
If you really want to go the polished route though, I;ll dig out a number for a commercial polisher that's supposed to do a nice job.

I've actually got a coupel of spare 911 wheels like those in your picture. I also have some new polsih effetc paint finishes to test out so I'll try it out on one to see what you think. I'll try and get a picture for next weekend.

-

-
Wheelrefurb- do you rreckon you can do anything about my alloys?
They are Steffans, so are a polished and lacquered alluminium, not painted. I've had a chunk taken out of the rims, so it will need filling, polishing, and lacquering
