Whats the best way to polish some wheels. I just picked up some ugly swastikas and I'd like to bling them out like its 1983 again. I did a search on Swastika and I found a perfect thread but it ended up being filled with where did HITLER STILL THE SWASTIKA SYMBOL FROM.

I have acess to only a dremel. What should I buy?

Mothers power ball is dope. I used that and mothers metal polish on a muffler I had laying around. Turned out great.

as retarded as it is... another vote for mothers powerball. worked on my sparco NT's.. It will not polish an unpolished wheel (it will but it will take a long time) but if the surface was polished at some point it will restore a perfect finish to most chrome/polished aluminum

um..this is sort of off topic too, on my 7 spoke 240sx rims there is a clear plastic'ish layer chipping off if i polish over that will it blend back in?

Its nothing special. Its just like the sponge thing that comes with waxes but since you hook it up to the drill its a shitload faster then doing it by hand. I can take a picture of the jic magic muffler i polished but i dont have any before pics. It would have been the same if I did it by hand just would of took 5-6x longer.

Junkyard in Ohio Hamilton Completely Lucked out really went there for a Metal Radio Din, Left with a set of Swastikas for 150$... Either I keep them or clean them up and resell. Win Win

They do have some curbage so that kinda sucks .. but overall they will and do get the job done. I bought alot of sand paper today and some Mothers Polish. I hope to go at it pretty soon. If only I can get these damn Tires off myself lol.

where did HITLER STILL THE SWASTIKA SYMBOL FROM.
OT: he stole it from the buddhist religion and flipped it upside down...

and its been covered, but mothers alloy polish does work wonders...

OT again: i just got an exhaust and apparently the car was resprayed so there is green haze on the can...any tips on removing the overspray without scratching or damaging the surface?

More OT: The swastika is a sign for the circle of life. Used by many religions and in diffrent regions.

Exhaust fix, brillo pad?

Rubbing compound and mother power ball should do it.
