in between working on all my projects, my work truck gets in the way and requires attention from time to time. I'm hoping if it looks nicer i will get harassed by the highway patrol less so i decided to clean up some. after talking to a bunch of polishers, everyone told not to waist my time with these and just buy new wheels. i don't have that kind of coin so with a bunch of sanding , polishing, buffing and 6 hrs per wheel, here is how they look. now i have some good practice and my boat is going to look sweet...

i remember having to polish my dads alcoas on his f350 dually. id do em by hand, id do em with airtools, dremel, powerball... you name it, i tried it. all of it sucked and took FOREVER to do. especially all those holes. heh.

I'd be willing to bet you'll never let those wheels go to hell again. Quick touch-ups by hand every now and then will keep them good forever. I always had to cover the polished wheels on my old Ford that always sat. Neighborhood cats and their piss etch that shit.

I try to keep all my aluminum polished because it is way easier to give it a quick buff and it looks new vs's letting them go to hell and trying to bring it back. these came like this on the truck when i got it , made in 87 and never polished and still had the machine grooves on the entire set . i kept putting it off because i knew it was going to be a bitch, now it won't be so bad. i also know about animal piss, my dogs was like acid .
