Rim Polishing?

[Iceduck312]

Hey all,

was down at commercial polishers and they quoted me $800 to polish all four rims..

I have works meister s2r, they are deep dish..

Do you think that is worth it?

he also said just to clean and dip in acid, would be $140..

anyone know any other places?

I need to clean my rims.. brake dust and melted rubber are all over them..

maybe try Elite plating... they *MIGHT* do polishing seperately as well. They did a lotta polishing for my dad's classic he was restoring, but he also gave them a lot of chroming business so unsure.

Try em anyway.

I had a set of Magnums polished by this guy for $50, but that was like ten years ago!

go by a tube of metal polish, some wheel cleaner juice - a toothbrush, some rags and some effort and save yourself 775 dollars

its really not that hard!

You can buy drill-bit polishing kits, ppl use them for their motorcycle rims......

dunno, that info might help if you want to diy.

[r31turbo]

yeh i use that... josco is the brand ..but not as good as a pro polish

[Busky2k]

You sure you dont mean rechroming for $800? Thats different!

Yeah that sure sounds a bit rediculous. Try this mob

I had both my front rims scraped & it cost $88 each to get them both polished back, though they're not a deep dish. I wouldn't think it'd cost a hell of a lot more to do yours, give them a go. They did a great job, would never know they were ever near a kerb.

Also try Adelaide Wheel & Rim just accross the road from them. I had 1 of mine fixed under insurance & extensive was the place they sent me to. So I don't know what these guys are like.

Yeah thanks every one for their input.. I'll do a bit more shopping around..

It's not that DIY option is beyond me..just that I don't think it'd give me the same outcome..

I saw the polish the guy did and it virtually looked chrome..

So I wonder if these other places do the same..

This time I'll prolli chuck the rims on the back of a ute and bring them in..haha.
