sanding aloy rims??

(1/2) > >>

dwain dibbly:
i got a pair of ukai rims  that im wanting to polish
ive had a go at sticking drill polishing mop on them.
but it wasnt doing anything :-[
i had to get the 80grit out and work down
but its took me 1hr just to do the space between 2 spoke holes :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

does anyone know of a good tool i could use  to sand the rim prior to polishing?? :) :)

ahh dunno are they anno'd?

motomagII:
pretty sure they are annodised

100% sure they're anno'd in some way.
Alloy doesn't last long without a protective coat, especially BMX rims !
