Hi,

Ive some CXN's on my 3 door. The wheels are in perfect condition but the lips all need a good polishing as they have white water marks on which I cannot get off.

Just wondering if Compomotive themselves do a refurb type thing?

If not can anyone point me in the direction of a company who will polish these wheels?

IMO the dont need split and ideally id like to avoid this to keep the costs down.

Cheers.

Could be worth trying them, don't see why not!?
Might be just as easy to take them to a good refurbishers though....

+1.....wet sand like above is another good idea....

Ive not had a go with the drill.

I know its a pain the the bum, but could someone link me to a fitting deemed appropriate for this?

Also, wet and dry on lips scare me lol

Ive had a look but dont know which grade in going to need for them.

It obv needs to be a wheel which fits into the end of a cordless but carnt see a set which would suit me. I dont want to ruin my wheels. Lol

And thanks guys

They are easy to split but time consuming

I've done mine with a mop of drill and they come up ok, maguires have an attachment but currently not available here

edited here's a seller from the US that can send here - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4001988831...84.m1423.l2649

are these not laquered then, just bare alloy?

BRAMMER

Their was an anodised option available, mine are bare as many are

Rossy43

Ah right.

So brammer, do you think the set i got linked to earlier should be ok? Im going to give it a go.

Ive no intention of splitting. It seems so foolish not having some sort of protection on them.

The castings were poor and they weren't made for show cars but later they offered a coating on the second version, I cover mine in rim wax after cleaning but don't use the car in bad weather
