If you don't mind me asking, how can you get the sticky goo off??
And how you got such a nice polish ?
Or what did you use to polish it?
It looks like a new wheel
Thank you for any help.
Thanks HWY-STAR! I lightly wet sanded it with 1000 grit sandpaper to remove any small imperfections being careful not to apply too much pressure and finished with 2000. Then polished with Adam’s Polishes ‘Compound’ using a 4” microfiber cutting pad on an orbital polisher, followed by Adam’s ‘Finish Compound’ with a 4” foam pad on the orbital.

I wouldn’t recommend sanding if you don’t have an orbital polisher - as the scratches will be difficult to remove by hand. I would also caution against using a rotary polished as they will put more heat into the wheel. But even without sanding, hand polishing with a little compound on a microfiber rag can be enough to bring back some shine!
