Re: Project Grande Slam: Coley's Hot Rod Shop

Had a rough day fellas ..

Dad bought a new compressor last Sat and we went to pick it up yesterday / today. I called a good friend of mine over to help us unload it. He bought his young (3) son over to 'help' us.

The day went on, messin around with his son, offloading the compressor, etc. We causually worked our way in to see the GMC. I showed him the progress, what's going under the front, and my Heritage wheels going on it.

I opened the wheel box to take a look, Dad, Greg (my friend) and I .. and out of nowhere.. BLAAAMMM Bla BLAM .. !! A Four way lug wrench lands on TOP of my Billet Specialties wheel. I was about to puke. He threw it in the box.

I can't be mad at Greg, or his son .. Stuff happens man but it was the LAST thing I expected. I count 14 'modifications' to my wheel.

My question is .. What's the best polish to use on Billets? I can get the damage out, in fact I worked on it for the rest of the day and I have it about half way cleaned up. It's just not polishing up like the factory polish.

1000 grit, 1500, 2000, 3000, then Mother's polish on a Power Cone. It's looking better.

Greg is my best friend man, .. I'm not posting to say I'm upset at either of them .. just sayin it happened. and it SUCKED! .

What can I use to bring back that out of the box shine? Mother's is doing really good but you can still kinda see some haze in where I've worked out the damage.

Ideas?
