Got my new set of black and silver empi 8 spokes.
One of them has already been polished to a mirror finish, but the other 3, although nice, could definately use a refresh. How can I polish them up? |

1.)Take them to a wheel polisher (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)
or 2.)Varying grades of wet & dry sandpaper (finish with 1200 grit) or 3.)Varying grades of steel wool...0000 for finish After 2 & 3 a tedious workout with Semichrome paste will make them mirror-like. |
