Dave, the wheels look awesome. Be careful people will be asking you to "show them" how you did it. I have had that a few time on this trip.

I was the envy of the campground when I was done and they shined like brand new ones. BUT now I'm addicted! There can't be too much glow off those wheels and I'll probably burn through the aluminum. I guess when the tires start loosing air I'll know to stop.
The whole coach is pretty dirty right now BUT.......Those wheels sure do shine!  |
Pictures or it never happened!

Those look great Dave. My missing ingredient has been the Jack close by.

The pictures are already in the thread. Just move up a few frames and feast your eyes..
That is the process that the first fellow used who did my wheels. The process makes a beautiful job.

You said you used a cheap polisher. Did you really use a right angle "grinder" type "polisher".

Yes Gary, that's what I bought. I've used for years a dual head orbital polisher for the coach but for this you need a right angle "body buffer". I'd never use it on the sides in fear of burning through the clear coate UNLESS I had a really bad scratch.
They come with the foam pad but I took that off. The shank on the buffer is 5/8 which most of them seem to be. I'll try to post a picture of the buffer and wheel later if I have time.

Pretty sure the whiskey isn't too far. Legend has it, he's only 32 years old.
