Good morning all,
On this bright and breezey Saturday morning, I have decided to have a go at tarting up the wheels on the Jeeeaaag.
Some time ago, I saw a guy - on one of those Discovery Turbo type programmes - refurbing some alloys from an MR2. He used a wire brush in a grinder to remove the lacquer and corrosion and then buffed them up to an olmost mirror finish, using a mop and some G3.
To my mind, I would have thought that the surface scratches left by a wire brush in a grinder would be far too deep for compounding to remove. Personally, I was thinking that a better start would be something like a 3M surface conditioning disc in a windy.
When I've finally settled on a technique, I'm going to try it out on the spare, initially, so if I cock that up, hoepfully, I won't be too distraught. However, before I take a power tool to any of my wheels, I'd really appreciate your thoughts - and experiences.
Cheers,
Ian.
