Custom Hand Polish Varrstoen?
 
I am definitely set on picking up the varrstoen 1.1.2 and just came across this picture that someone did a custom hand polish on. The lip finish came out exactly the look I want because I dont care too much for the way they come stock (almost look kinda of dull). Anyone know the exact process? Or is this something I would take to a rim repair shop to get done? Thanks! :tiphat:

Ya I agree but how do you get them like that?

Love your polish
 
Hey
how did you polish your wheels?
I'd love to do this to mine

The polish is probably something pretty simple, but I have a decent knowledge of detailing cars... so here's my input:

The owner simply took a lot of chrome/metal polish and sat there rubbing it in.

He lightly sanded and then used a slightly abrasive polish to cut the metal enough to add a shine. Using less and less abrasive per step, he got it to an insane shine.

High speed buffing can make this happen too.

Im going to try to polish mine today when I get off work, but they may have a clear coat over the wheel that has to be sanded off with light grit sand paper. Ill be sure to let everyone know how it goes when I get done
