Polishing wheels on my R1
Right guys i am trying to find somewhere decent to polish the outer rims on my R1's wheels, preferably somewhere in scotland but if theres anywhere i will def consider them!
Does anyone know or can recomend anywhere. Dont want to get shafted and pay too much as i have heard it can be quite pricey!

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
do it yourself, it's not that hard, just labour intensive and therefore expensive to pay someone to do it..
Also a real ball ache to keep them looking good.
Can't recommend anywhere though as I am a shandy drinking southener.. LOL..

I did think about doing them myself but i dont want to mess it up, or get bored doing it!!! I did see the thread the other night with the guy doing his own wheels on the golf, that would be fine if i could drive the front wheel too but its maybe a bit tight by the chain etc to do something like that, so i would need to get my hands on a lathe, the c**t is i am a fitter/turner to trade!!!! Just dont do it anynmore....

there is a boy does alloy polishing in cleland ( bellside road) sorry i dont have a phone number,it's easy to find just look for small black & white building & a guy that look's like he has been down a coal mine does a good job & is cheap

I did mine myself using nitro-mors, had to do them a couple of times to get all the paint off but the end result looked good. I just taped up the paint which i didnt want to remove then brushed the nitro-mors onto the outer rim left it a few minutes then hosed it off, then repeated the process, there was no need to polish them up with wet and dry afterwards either, just a good buffing with some autosol!
