when he sees this
he came round last night pretending to be on a social call, then dropped into the conversation that he had some stuff he wanted me to polish, and a seat to dye.....and promptly went to his truck to fetch this lot......

i went at em with what i think is the safest method of stripping anno....no nasty fumes, no burny hands, no stingy eyes.....oven pride oven cleaner....
stripped in a matter of minutes.....then over to my bench drill with polishing mop
resulting in this little lot

Cheers
Lee

davey your a star top job, now sat here in my sisters house with damp dirty pants, cant believe how well they came out, best i find other things that need polishing ;)
-
even saved the sealed bearing stickers and the ukai decals......fook im good
lee all i have is a polishing mop on a bench pillar drill.....i would imagine a grinder would be fine with a polishing head attached, just mind the speed tho, grinders rotate a lot quicker than proper polishing machines

What 'substance' do you use to get that sort of shiney shine....
Autosol? Peek? Man-Cream?....

Dave,
What did you do to the rims, they are painted if I'm not mistaken. Also what about the sidewalls, do you sand, wet n dry then polish etc?
Hubs look fantastic!!

nope rims are hard anno.....as i said, oven pride oven cleaner removes the anno...
and no, never rub sidewalls with wet and dry, your brakes never work properly afterwards
