simonm:
thanks Spen.

simonm:
Had a go at one side of the rims. Sanded down with 80...then 280.. then polished with a kit off ebay. Not convinced I have the right compound, and the kit was dremmel type pads which I don;t think give good corage over the rim.. anyone and ideas ?  From a distance there..ok... close up there patchy.

bobafett:
They look like they're getting there mate but a bit more elbow grease for that gleaming finish i reckon  :-\

The guy who does all the alloy polishing restoration stuff over on vintagebmx.com (i forget his name) swears by a mouse palm sander - there is a whole big thread on there about it in the tech n resto area  - worth a read i would say Si  :daumenhoch:

bmxbob:
Keep rubbin  :D

simonm:
ahhh, more effort required !  cheers though, mouse sander makes sense, good size for the rims.  Anyone else have on of the ebay kits ? there is  blue block of polish type stuff, when you use it though the rim goes black, then you have to buff it off with another pad... does that all sound right ?
