  • Clear Coated Rims, Polished!

    So I had these new center caps laying around waiting for my rims to get chromed.
    Then I realized my rims have Clear Coat on them and I can polish them and they'd be worthy of new caps!

    So M105 to the rescue!
    Then a coat of NXT and topped with M135.
    I used a mini power ball and spend just a few minutes on each rim.
    I was so happy with the results.
    If you have CC Rims, I encourage you to do the same if your rims look bad.

    Mercedes Benz have are notorious for heavy break dust on the front rims, and they had some bad stains that wouldn't come out with washing but it was no match for M105!




    Here's a macro shot of the dirt


    Here's a shiny shot after just a few passes with M105 baby!


    Here's the outside shot, couldn't get a good reflection but you get the point


    Macro of the cleanliness!


    Now the car is worthy of the new caps.

      excellent work Mario, did you do this by hand or with a machine?
