The dark rim is a hard anodised rim, not sure if it can be stripped in the same way, maybe Login_user or Atari_Ager can help as they are both Mongoose men  :daumenhoch:

yes mate i used a bench polishing mop,i use three stage polishing,from cource cutting compound,then medium and finish off with fine,they take a long time to do because of all the holes and you have to be careful not to loose any of the definition of the spoke holes etc ;)
