I let my car do the work when I polished the wheels on my Cutlass. Wet sanded to either 1500 or 2000. Then Heavy Metal polish.
Bolted one on each side, dropped it in 2nd and let it idle.

That is what I planed to do, but it got real messy. And a few other excuses, like it was cold, and the falcon smokes blah blah blah.

This is what im dealing with, on every wheel :(
So I just cant bring myself to spend 8 hr per wheel so this is as far as im taking it.
Good enough to look awsome on the internet!

From 6 feet it looks pretty good.
The key is to slam it far enough you can hide the bad spots under the fender

Didnt really do much on the r.b. today, did dig out a set of tie rods, and installed my new nismo tc cups. Cool teflon floaty things, less flex than any poly bushing, but with a smooth fluid easy range of motion.

The price you pay for clean parts eh.

did you use that aluminum brightener on them? If so, a quick polish with mothers mag/alum polish does WONDERS! Shine like a new penny.
