:wink: (now that I have your attention)

I'm trying to shine up my set of polished rims. They're kinda a chromie lookin' but beginning to lose luster. The polish the company gave me, made for the specific rim, said apply and rub until a black powdery stuff appears? I did that and it kinda looks the same. Not any shiner. Also came with sealer. Does anyone have any tips for this? Am i doing it right? Any other product recommendations????

Try either Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish. I hear that they also make a chrome polish.

my friend had a old bike shop that did those thing. hes going to teach me how to polish and stuff. from what i know so far is a whole process you have to take. Diffrent grade of grit sand paper the some and some other stuff and a buffer. Since me and my friend are going to share the product since i will have more than enough for the project. Im going to start very soon on my camry then hes gonna do his legend next. i get some pics posted to let everyone know how it goes.
