Default Before and after pics of Weld polishing

I was wondering if anyone had any before and after pics of some Weld rims that have been polished to get the oxidation off. Also I'd like to know what was used and how they were polished. I tried the search but there wasn't any luck on that. Thanks

After pics will work also if you can honestly say that they were oxidized.

Thats what I was thinking, because I am supposed to be getting some prostars that need polishing and those look bad ***.

Where you at the car show at VA Beach last weekend? I was visiting and we went to the strip and I happened to see a couple of sweet f bodys, but I didn't see yours. I'm sure you would be able to hear that beast blocks away

I didn't go on the beach, I just seen the cars go by when they were either leaving or just driving by. I was just on the strip.

You do not have to use a power ball specific polish? I was referring to a polish that is in a can that you tear off for the hand polishing.
