CCW Polishing Time Just picked up a CCW Drag Pack over the weekend for the Formula. They had a few little nicks here and there so I sanded them out using different grits of sandpaper now I'm in the polishing phase. I "fixed" all four wheels already and have polished two. This crap is tedious but they should look extra nice when I'm done.
I took the wheels apart to make polishing them easier plus I'm changing out the bolts for socket head stainless bolts and I am going to reseal the wheels again so I don't have any future leaks.

You have the best setup. . . .17" (i think) ccw classics for the street and then the 16" ccw track pack for the weekends. I am jealous. They look awesome cleaned up! Keep up the good work.

Looks great man!
what are you using for repairing the damage...I bought a use set of classics that need some attention. Looks like the guy I got mine from used mine for road racing. I see you said sanding..but what grits? Also are you polishin by hand? or do you have a buffing wheel?

The little nicks I sanded out using 400,600,800,1000 grit. To buff them back out I'm just using the mothers billet polish and a minipower ball. I've tried a buffing wheel and different compounds before but I couldn't it figure out so I just stuck to the powerball method.
