Default Polishing Rims



I like the stock rims, but at night they can be really dull looking!!!

Now I think there's a clear coat on these rims, right?

I'm thinking of removing that and polishing them up... Anyone done that with these type of wheels???

Somebody had just done it about a week ago and their rims looked great.If i remember correctly they used the aircraft stripper to strip the clearcoat off.

Verrrrrry nice. Just enough bling to make a statement without looking tacky. I love it.
