Stock 87 gn wheels cleaning

[Onalky87]

My stock wheels need some serious work. The chrome ring is not realy that shiney as it should be and is rough and feels Like sandpaper. Is it possible to wetsand these then buff back or is it to late for them?


Please help!!!!

Sanding is way too coarse for chrome. You can try some tripoli or rouge compound on a die grinder and see if it cleans up.

Even if I do it with 3000 grit? The pix posted here looked pretty promising

Chrome is hard but it scratches real easy.

Try the White rouge first and if your'e making progress keep going. If you're not try something coarser.

I took a front bumper with some minor scratching and made it look new with just the rouge and about 2 hours time with the die grinder.

the only reason that wet sanding worked on the gta rims are because there aluminum wheels.
