 Local source for polishing wheels? Hi all. I have a set of alum American racing wheels that I would like to get polished up. They are mounted on the bronco now, and have tires on them. Does anyone know of a local source for polishing them? Or a way to spiff them up?

Re: Local source for polishing wheels? I don't know about your area, but there is a place here in the Springs that does a helluva job. J&S Polishing 4430 Misty Dr Colorado Springs, CO 80918 (719) 477-9484.
Never had any work done there myself, but I've heard recommendations often.

Re: Local source for polishing wheels? You are smart to take them to a pro. I spent a ton of money on buffing pads, cleaner, wet sand paper, buffing compound, polishing compound, etc. then to just get frustrated with the time and energy. Then add all the time reading articles and posts that I could find. CasaDeJohnson made his look amazing at home but I did not have the same luck.

Re: Local source for polishing wheels? How much does he charge per wheel? I was about to start on my slots but if reasonable I would just him take care of it?
