Rombloke:
ok, most alloy/sliver rims have a clear annodising over them...this will deffo need to be stripped off first, otherwise you will be rubbing for england to get a shine on em....

i, unlike ruler always work through the grits of wet and dry paper....but it does depend on the condition of the alloy to begin with


this tuff neck is a 1000 grit job and a quick run on the polishing head.

use brasso after the autosol

best way is to strip them. clean them, and rebuild with new stainless spokes

good call.

i f you haven't tried brasso, then you're missing out. polish your chrome and bling :shocked: 8) 8) 8)

true

if the anno is good, just removing it then polishing it is enough
however if you have scratches to remove then you have to go with wet or dry paper

but if there are no scratches, you don't need the sandpaper. the surface is already very very smooth. like if you are stripping a new part.
