[antz]

id like to know this

 

i use solvol and t-cut.

 

but i havent done it in about 2 months and the salt has made them look shit. need to do it again

Keep 'em clean too it stops them tarnishing

[tim]

get them all clean and polished up then lacque them

[Vista]

I was advised against laquering them when I had mine machine polished, it looks great, but the slightest chip out of the laquer will let water in behind it. Then it goes opaque and there's bugger all you can do to get it shining again but strip all the laquer off. Touch of metal polish regularly keeps them looking nice.

yeah i laquered my old revo's but dont like the finish prefer them when there bare an polished!

been told that you can get something to put on to protect them but mate didnt know what it was called or where to get it!

I was just told to use normal car wax polish over the top. it forms a good barrier and is easy enough to remove to repolish them.

[Guest M.Bird DOHC]

have you tried waxing them m8!

 

I know it sounds made but it may make um last a bit longer, either that or grease um up for winter time!

Drop of autoglym super resin would work (brought my wardrobes up lovely )

[groomers]

will have to try that tomorrow. how well does the wax cope with the heat though as my brakes get well used!

What he said, I just polished my rims with autosol and put a coat of autoglym on top.

Dude I bought them off ebay like it. Diamond cut. No laquer so I have to keep them polished up nice.

I would agree with steve on the wax thingy, also i work at a wheel and tyre shop and when we sell chromes and things alike we've advise to buy an expensive option called supergaurd.

Cool ,im getting mine done soon without the laquer and wondered if they are easy to keep looking nice if you keep on top of it,mines not a daily driver so it should'nt be too hard
