a hell of a lot of sanding gets rid of kerb/scuffs this is before you polish............ so: strip,sand,polish..........

I hate all this :lol:

My new wheels are arriving next week and they are far too expensive to not give them the treatment.....like everyday!

Is it safe to use stuff like autosol on highly polished wheels? I need to keep these wheels spic ans pan, so need to know the best products!
