Re: Eastwood buffing kit for billet wheels??
Here's that kit .. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-25ec...&storeId=10051
The wheel you see in the picture is a new wheel, .. but my best friend's little boy threw a 4 way lug wrench in the box -- right on top of the wheel -- as I was showing it to him. Yeah, .. never mounted on a tire, these are the wheels Eric had for sale. I opened the box, pulled back the plastic and cardboard and BLAM! Man, it danced all over this wheel. I counted 14 different places where it damaged the billet. I was SICK. This wheel has been sanded with 800 grit paper and worked all the spots out, gradually getting finer and finer with the paper. I'm tellin ya man .. I was sick. It looked like a Calico cat for a while. Deep, dull spots all over it. I have about 30hrs in this one wheel but I am 100% convinced the Mothers Billet polish and this polishing wheel kit saved it. I know you do this stuff every day and you know what you're doing .. just saying. If you haven't .. I thought I'd mention it. Hope it helps you or someone else. The Billet polish is hard to find because they are discontinuing it. Summit still sells it and PepBoys (if you have them in Cali) had about 2-3 cans of it the last time I was there.
