Check it out guys i finally Polished my se rim's. All work and labor was done by my self. It was quite simple actually. I bought a mothers power ball mini. Picked up the metal polish recommended for the application and polished away. After the rims there nice and shiny i picked up some dupli color clear coat made for rims, sprayed them. Next thing i new there was a sheet of glass covering my rim. All this took me only 2 day's. It feels good to look at my 7 and see the hard work i put in to it. I don't know but its a thing of beauty. Take a look.

These are before and after but with out clear coat.






Polished and clear coated!

 

Looks great. It's amazing what a little elbow grease and time can do for the look of your car.

 

What a difference two days makes. Sweet looking SE. Well done!

 

What are you using on your moldings to make them shine like that? I've used tire shine with about average results.

 

they have been painted. But if you don't wanna take that route use the black magic titanium tire gel on them. Make sure its the titanium gel so it sticks!

 

I like it. Good work.

 

did u paint them yourself? (the moldings)

 

damn, now i almost wish i didn't go 5 lug, haha

 

i'm really digging the polished look!! great work!

 

Wow, that looks sharp! Any chance you will load the pictures with the clear coat on it?


You gave me motivation to strip my wheels

 

the pics with the rims on the car are with clear coat. No I didn't paint the moldings my self! Thanks for the comments tho
