Aluminium polishing

[shantybeater]

No affiliation but just wanted to put a recommendation out for this local company. M&M polishing on nuffield industrial estate in poole, I dropped my BBS outers off to them and they managed to turn them around in a week. They did a sterling job and the price was extremely reasonable too!. If anyone needs anything polished i'd highly recommend them!

Nice I've got a set that need doing too, might give them a call.

Did you dismantle them 1st?

Stunning work! I still say you should go gunmetal on the centres...

Yes, if you try and find a wheel refurbisher willing to split the wheels it will cost an arm and a leg!

It's not a difficult process, just take your time. I loosely followed this guide (ignore the reverse mounting part if you want to keep them OEM):

Cheers, did you get any protective finish put on them after polishing? They do seem to tarnish easily.

Nope i'm running bare metal at the moment (so alot of TLC!). Previously I've had lacquer (which allows corrosion in quite quickly) and powdercoat which dulls the lovely finish. Will see how i get on!!

One of my neighbours recently bought that car, I don't know him too well so can't give anymore info!
