Default Wheel refurb...

Needed a spare wheel for the car so managed to buy one from fleebay. It needed refurbished and some kerbing marks taken out so I decided to do this today.






400 grade sandpaper on the DA sander to remove the powdercoating, then grade 400 wet & dry followed with 1200 grade wet & dry and finally 2000 grade wet & dry.

Once this was done some Solvol Autosol applied with the rotary polisher soon had the alloy shining.

Still needs a little work and once I have achieved the finish I require I will have it etched and lacquered
