Polishing our wheels - bubblerboy64 - 05-12-2008 05:02 Glad to be of some help. Small return for all the help that has been going my direction over the last year. Listen, I tried to polish one of my wheels, I know what you are talking about. No way. On that fight the wheel would have won. I worked a couple hours and I think I made it worse, rather then better. In fact the owner of the VIS system had to kid me a little about my efforts.
