| I do things...      Group: Members Posts: 7,809 Joined: 2-December 03 From: Napa, Ca Member No.: 1,413 Region Association: Northern California  |  I'd like to polish these to a mirrorlike finish. How much time does it take per wheel to do it right and what should I pay to send them out? What is the best process? fine grit wet paper all the way down to #0000 steel wool and then Mother's polish? Thanks. KT Attached image(s)   |
