Hi all,

Most of you will know my car as the one with the Borbets..



When I bought them the outer lip was kerbed and was generally very poor on all the wheels..



So i watched this guys video and thought i would give it a go! Click mee

Picture of my setup..



and the result (excuse the dirty wheel!)..



Overall really happy with the results and didnt really take to long. Will use the same wheel on the car method come spring to polish up the dishes for the better weather. So for now that is all!

Tom

Some may say what a bodge, however no matter hows its done or sorted what matters is that it works for the long run.

Good on you in trying it out, good job indeed mate.

How much was taken off as i hope not to much which may mean the edges are now weaker??

Easy to make a bodge of it but made sure i had the right stuff for the job and took my time. Very little came off, just enough to smooth it all out and i finished it with wet & dry. There are two deeper kerb marks which Im not even going to attempt to remove as there too deep Thumbs down but you really have to look close to find them so im happy.

good effort, though I am concerned that you took advice from somebody with a car bra!
