polishing painted wheels.... help!
« on: 01 January 2007, 13:43 »
right ho, heres the plan for my P-slots:
1. nitromors the paint off
2. buy one of those spinning car polishing mops
3. buy abrasive metal polish
4. use mop and polish on said wheels

what i want to know is, will this work and be enough for a nice, polished finish and is there anything else i may need to do?

Cheers.

Several coats of a good quality lacquer! Flatted in between coats. Then a final polish.
