looking good dude

you've inspired me to carry on polishing my hockenhiems!!!

Hmm, can't help thinking you would've been a bit better off doing more with lower grades to get those scratches out, but if you're happy, thats all that matters! Looking tasty though bud. Red will really set them off I recon! Good work

Yeahhhh

because i actually KNOW what I'm doing now, these wont happen on the other 3 (I Hope)

majority of them scratches are bits of grit n shit =[.

but yeah its loooks pretty good tbh

better than black .

Good stuff! To be honest if it's gunna be a daily you don't want them absolutely pristine mirror finish or you'll be polishing them up every 5 mins and worrying about every little mark! Looking forward to seeing them on the car tho!

looking good dude

you've inspired me to carry on polishing my hockenhiems!!!

told you that this has inspired me to polish again

some pics of the hocks!

before

after nitromoors

after orbital sander, and 120 grit by hand

after 600 grit by hand

the lips are shot so going to paint them, any ideas of colour? thinking either gunmetal or black

nice work on those tears dude n red should look gooooood

Yes mike, nice work there :p

what grade did you get to?

alex

alex

thats only to 120 grit.

need to go buy some 320 grit for the next lot of polishing :-D

looking shiny shiny! is it hard work or pretty simples?

looking good alex, i say get some polishing mops now some mid and fine mops and compound that is much easier than polishing with wet and dry i think :-)

A mop + G3 will bring them up like mirrors

Mop + G3

Confused much :]

Explain

alex

BUMP.

Just went outside with my 2000 wetndry and some of the grit got onto my sandpaper even though i was constantly un-clogging it, and scratched my wheel, i managed to get it most out them out, but it frightens me cause i dont want to do it again.

is this normal:

Edit:

my mirror finish has disintegrated :'[

If you honestly can't muster up the strength to scrape anything more than senseless, blank, hurtful dribble that is as constructive as building a house from the roof down from the insides of what I'm guessing you call a mind- Just f**k off.

In response to the scraping, when using anything more than P800 it's best you use the wet sanding method, should slow down/stop the clogging up Try Autosol'ing it up again mate

tried sanding it more

and its just:

just went out again and tried to sand it up, but still, i keep getting these black scratches come up

95% chance I'm going to give up.

man dont give in ,think of the end results ,id personaly use a polishing mop i got a kit from screw fix to do a set of p slots turned out very nice ,thats if uv had enough with sanding by hand

spoke to Jackdub and he said go back down to 1500 cause the finish is way better

so i done that and its getting good again, waiting for it to dry to check it out proper :]

Thats too bad. On the positive side of things it looks like you got yourself an admirer.

Oh Hai Shine:

P1500 FTW.

Yes mate! now get the mops and polish on that and you'll be taking super clear omfgscenecorehair pics in them :p

Good work alex, you have style
