Polished lip on rims?
Hey guys whats the best way to shine up that polished lip again. After this rough winter I would like to restore that new look. What are the first Steps. I tried mag cleaner and no luck. I tried to buff it out again with a buffing machine with no luck. I'm probably doing it wrong. All the help would be great.

How do you go about repolishing the lip? What tools do I need or do I have to find someone who does this?

basically you wet sand it and move up to finer and finer grit sand paper... and then you polish it its a long and tedious process... do a search on google or something... a few people have posted it on here but search doesnt work anymore
and yea first try a dremel
it works wonders too
