so up here in New Hampshire the winters are bad an obviously i take my summer hp wheels off..so before i stored them i washed them,dried them waxed them..whole 9 yards..

so i pull them out this past Sunday and the lip is all messed up..something ate threw the polish,clear coat, etc...i was P****
so i decided to try an fix them myself first before i go and spend some money to get them fixed so this is what i did:

whipped them down with some cleaner,
and this was the scary part----sanded them in 3 steps:

1. 220grid sand paper to get rid of the crap that was on it and they were pitted so i need to get pass the pit...
2.800grid to clean it up alil
3.1000grid to make them smooth and cleaner
after about 4hours the sanding was done on 1 rim..lol...but i wanted it to come out nice..so last i polished them up with mothers mag and aluminum polish an this is what they look like now!!!!


this is not dirt...


nice and shinny

 

I want them.

 

did you do it all the way around the rim? or just in the spots where the "thing" was? I would like to polish up the lip on my rims too....

 

ya i got 5 others that want them to..when i end up selling them i have someone already buying them sorry....

and i did sand all the way around the rim it would have looked like crap just doin sections!

 

omg!!! That's scary..oh well, I would still buy them off you if they were permanently stained lol

 

Great work, but man is that tedious work. It's worth it.

 

it deff is tedious but well worth it ..im sponsored an have to so certain car shows so well worth it bro!

mcLarenF1:i know you would still buy them..lol..i tink this will be my last season with them so we will keep in touch bro

 

wow, good fix!! And saved you a boatload of money!!

 

Did you use butter or Cool Whip?

Seriously, good save!

 

i know i know...just didnt want to ix it

i deff saved some money i asked a few people around here what it would have cost they said about 700+..so deff happy!but we just got a big snow storm today so looks like i have to wait a few more weeks!! oh well

 

wow...nice save! but what caused it? rust bec. of moisture??? nweiz nice job saving it.

 

honestly bro i have no idea...like i said i washe them waxed them and put them in bags..so maybe moisture an dthe wax had a reaction and started to eat threw the clear coat and stuff????

but its fixed and im haoppy nop only if the snow can melt ill put them on..lol
