I'm going to go over them again starting with the 400-600-1000 and ending with the 1500 grit. I guess I'm being a perfectionist cause they're my wheels but they'll be worth it. The inserts on the the stars will be either black or charcoal, not sure yet. What do you guys think?

Those are easier to do than most wheels, because they have rather flat surfaces. I can't believe what the other guy did to them.





Good job Nacho ..... lookin' good.

Seriously pick up a machine buffer and a couple pads and the white rouge. You will crap yourself when you see what it does once you've gotten the surface to that grit . . . BLING BLAANG!!. . .

When you finish them, take them to the guy that polished them to show him how it's really done....then proceed to take a large poop on his desk.

Agreed. And after you do it, make him feel like that large pile of poop by letting him know that he ripped you off.
