2JG Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 Evening all, just a quick question. Hoping to get my Volk rims refurbed this week after kerbing them last week I've been told that they won't be able to re-lacquer the polished lip afterwards, but am I right in thinking that the newer Volk/Rays polished lips aren't lacquered anyway due to road conditions in Japan? Your input is appreciated. Ta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 I got my new Volk GTC's last Oct , there isn't any lacquer on the polished lip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Why wouldn't they be able to lacqueur them after polishing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JG Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 Not entirely sure, went to see wicked wheels in Crawley today and they said they did a set of volk/rays recently and they said there was no lacquer on them as well. When I go back up I might ask if they can do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Good question! that would be a pain in the arse to keep them shiny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2JG Posted January 3, 2007 Author Share Posted January 3, 2007 I've had mine 6 months and even with the winter weather so far they haven't lost their shine. Admittedly I do clean them every two weeks and then polish the lip afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lebsteif Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 With what do you keep them nice and shiny? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Assuming they are not lacquered a good metal polish such as "brilliant" to restore any lost shine followed by a wax to seal the shine and protecect from salt and brake dust, repeat weekly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
