Gotta love that polished look

Gotta love that polished look

well ive had my wheels for 4 years now and they were definitely starting to show their age mainly the lips. so i decided to rip of the clear and sand and polish them up. people weren't kidding that this stuff is time consuming. only got one wheel done now so i thought id show a comparison

before clear was takin off

after clear was taken off

after sanding and polishing

kinda hard to see the differences unless you saw it in person. ill get more pictures as i continue. im also going to polish up my stock muffler since ive never seen it done on a camry.

more to come...

to get the clear off i used airplane paint remover

its very strong. i just applied it with a brush and the clear just crinkled up and came off

you can find it at a autoparts store
