you will pay less than 200 to do this yourself - a rim re-finishing place would probably ask you to bend over for this.

So who will be the first to buy a raggedy set of Si rims on E-Bay and try this?

You might want to clear-coat them. I dont think that finish will last long on the street with out something protecting them (polished metal scratches very easily).

I've driven on bare aluminum rims before and had a polished valve cover for a while too.. i dont remember having any issues with scratches?

We'll see how it goes..

So yeah, this is my 2nd set of rims i've polished - i did a set about 5 yeras ago.. so keep in mind that i'm not exactly new at this..

Thanks for the comments guys - after all this work it's nice to hear positive words.

this one turned out the worst because it was the second one i did - and i didnt use clean bonnets, very important! i'm going to give it another shot today and get them all mounted on tires.

works much better outside without a flash!

Do you have before/after pics? My rims are kind of gone to 5hit and I'd like to see how bad yours were before you did the project.
