Scuzzy S3 alloys

[macwalsh]

I''ve had no luck finding anyone local to me that polishes alloy wheels, however, a local firm have advised that they can shotblast them to get rid of the remaining lacquer and get back to the alloy. Is it then just a case of me putting in a few hours elbow grease with a tub of Brasso to polish them up or is the "Alloy wheel polishing" process abit more involved. An alternative is to get them powder coated once they've been blasted but I''m not sure if the 8 spokes would look as good powder coated as they would polished. Has anyone had any of this done or have any recommendations? Thanks very much guys Andy Edited by macwalsh on Thursday 28th June 21:42

Thanks for the reply johno - how long did they need the wheels for and have you got a phone number for them? only I live near Edinburgh but am back down South later this year visiting family and friends in Essex / Kent so I may be able to get the wheels sorted whilst down South. The only quote I could get up here was for £55 a wheel and the firm wanted the wheels for 10-14 days. Thanks again Andy

Ouch - sounds like that's going to keep you busy for a while. Thanks for the info though - let us know the phone number when you've got it and I'll give them a bell. Good luck with the repairs. Andy

Cheers Mark, I'll give them a call and see what I can get sorted. Thanks again Andy
