Hey I just wanted to know what you guys use to polish your stock GS-R wheels. Is there a certain wheel polish I am supposed to use or can I use just about any kind of metal polish?

 

the 98 gsr wheels are already polished and they have a special coat on them to protect the wheels...if u polish that coat off it might need to recoat them.

 

If you knew how to read, you would have seen that he drives a `94, which indefinately the finish has long since worn off.

I've heard stories all the time about buffing wheels. You should be able to find an aluminum compound. Try that... Good luck!

 

i polished mines completely and they were nice until a guy ofer me 500,so i sold them.i used 320 sand grit following 800,1000,1500,2000,then inside holes i used a dremel with a 120 wheel and then crossbuff polishing wheels from standard abrasibe ,it took me like 2 days on each wheel

 

So I could probably use just about any aluminum polish. I don't think i really want to go through and sand them down. I just want them to look like new again if that is even possible.

 

Mothers Aluminum Polish

 

 

"Mothers Aluminum Polish "

Ditto

 

another thing is revome the clear coat on the rims,repaint the holes again and polish the other parts again,i did it in the last rim i was working and it looks better than the others i had polished complete,if you were close to philly i can do it for you

 

what do u guys use to polish off the hair line scratches? not the mothers aluminium polish right?

 

i also have some sort of scuffs(not really scratches, cause i run my nail across the rim and dont feel no scrateches. Anyone know how to go about getting rid of these marks. It on one of my polished lips. Thanks.

They are CLEAR COATED. Use clear coat safe car polish and a buffer. Be careful, the clear coat will be real thin on the edges.

 

I have some deep nicks and scratches.... any suggestions? How much would a proffessional place charge? and where would I be able to do this at around nyc?

 

reading you guys comments is always a blast.

3 steps to polishing them:

Step 1: use aircraft remover and remove all the paint on the rims.

Step 2: wash.

Step 3: Use metal polish on the rims.

your done.
