a98pmalcolm Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Well managed to curb my wheel again (becoming a yearly thing now lol) So with all the previous practice thought I'd show you how I got on. Total amount of time was about 4 hrs. All done by hand. These were massive marks.. The damage: Thats the hard part done with the dents and scratches removed as best as I could. And the Finshed product. It will take a few washes and polish's before it comes out really good again. Thanks for looking Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MATT RR Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 Good work, interested to know how you did it all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a98pmalcolm Posted February 2, 2015 Author Share Posted February 2, 2015 I used a very coarse sand paper with a cork block and a few hours of elbow grease... Then to get rid of the sand paper marks start with 240 grit wet and dry then 800, 1500, 2500 then meguiar's metal polish. I usually use 400 grit also but I had run out.

On of those bud http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Cork-Decorating-Hand-Sanding-Block-Fit-for-the-Job-110mm-x-60mm-x-30mm-/231355034436?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35ddd5ab44 1st time I did it I just gave it a go. Worst thing that can happen is you need to pay some one to refurb your wheel anyway lol Wheel has to come off though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
