Re-polishing alloys

oli_p · 24-07-2008, 19:28

Basically my car came with polished speedlines, but due to my working hours never got to clean then as often as they needed to and now they have kind of lost most of the polished effect and brake dust in certain areas thats a pain to shift.
Is it possible to re-polish alloys if so whats the best way of doing this??

Cheers

lol exactly how mine used to look lol. cheers again for the link bud. is there anything that i should cover the alloys in once they all polished again to protect it from road dirt and brake dust or would autosol be ok??

I would just use autosol once a month to keep on top off them
