Well Buffed!! COSMIC wheel cleanup

[Chud]

Was a bit bored this afternoon so i thought i'd start cleaning up these Cosmic alloys i've had in stock (in my shed) for a few years. Bought them off a colleague when i worked at Haynes of Maidstone,apparently they were on a 105E in the early 70's but the car was sold on and the wheels were left in an outbuilding for me to discover over 30 years later ! Clocked them a few times when i went rooting about for old stock in this shed but saw the yellow label on the outside of the rim that said "fits Anglia 105E,Corsair ,Classic,Cortina,Escort Twin Cam and Hillman models ie Avenger etc ,also that they were 6 J's as-well and thought to myself i've gotta have em even if i don't use em!! They were in a right state but i could see the potential and paid the princely sum of £15 for 4!! Started off washing em down then dryed them off and started buffing with Autosol and wire wool took me about an hour and have still got a bit more work to do till i'm happy like painting the centre's black to freshen them up and a little more buffing. Don't know what the other 3 are gonna be like but if they come up half as good as the 1st one i'll be well chuffed!!
