This time, I polished old beat up Lorinser wheels, sold as junk in an internet auction, until they become mirror surface.
Please note that I am an amateur in polishing and how I did is only for your reference.
The equipment I used this time is as follows:
・ Apeeling agent
・ 3M Sanding Sponges ( Superfine, Ultrafine, Microfine)
・ RYOBI Sanda Polisher RSE-1250
・ Sanda polisher (# 120- # 1500)
・ DREMEl3000
・ DREMEl flexible shaft
・ Flap wheel( #240-#400)
・ Shake Morley (metal polishing agent)
・ Cotton buff
・ Dust protective respirator
All work can be done by hand without using tools.
Although I did it successfully all by hand, it takes a very long time.
When polishing with sandpapers, check to see if scratches are completely gone.
If it is insufficient, mirror suface cannot be achieved.
For easier checking, prepare bright lighting or do it at a bright place.
Cotton buff and polishing agent are the key materials in this work
The combination of cotton buff and polishing agent is very effective in polishing, while excessive polishing agent is absorbed.
Since cotton buff is very soft, it finishes mirror surfaced wheels perfectly without making any scratch.
The metal polishing agent I used does not include unwanted coating material, and it makes polishing work easier.
Polishing agent that contains much coating material will result in higher consumption of cotton buff, and so I do not recommend those.
Choose metal polishing agent with the less coating material.
If available, choose Shake Morley as I did.
For your own safety, wear goggles, gloves and masks, and use ventilation while working.
May the force be with your work.
Automobile customization is passion!
