good write up for wheel refinishing?
alright i have decided to polish up and repaint the wheels on my car untill i can get ahold of some super cool japanese wheels, and because when i do it'll only help the resale value if theyre nice lookin, even if theyre just iron cross's
theyre not all banged up and i couldnt find any curb rash theyre just chipped and flaking with a tad bit of corrosion.
i just cant find a decent write up on polishing the lip and the flat bands that go tward the center (i.e. the shiny parts) and painting the rest. all my results turn up refinishing service and the sort.
any help?

make your own write up maybe? idk, just an idea.
i dont think there is much help on how to polish your wheels seing as its kinda easy to learn. buy wheel polish, and look at teh back of it. lol. if you really want some sparkle sparkle you can clean them with a pressure washer using hot water, and wash them, then repeat. then take 2000 grit sand paper to it dry ive noticed is the way to shine metal. and then a polishing kit like clayr bars and such. then use polish on them.
