    Got some old school redlines that are crying to be alive again. Previous owner used plastidip. Thank you if you have someone you can recommend.

    Those are Raceline Rockcrushers. You could try a Mothers powerball and mag polish?

    Thanks, just as of right now I found a guy that would polish them to high shine for 45 a wheel. I’ll post the results here around Monday or Tuesday.

    Just wondering. After it’s been shiny, do you apply clear coat (alumaclear)or you just buff it every now and then.

    Nice. Had those 20 years ago. What was once cool is cool again.

    I would do it and I'd do it by hand (meaning you, not me). And the best metal polisher I've ever used is Maas. Amazon sells it. I first started buying it directly from the maker in the 90s and have been using it ever since. I've tried many others in that time frame based on recommendations and I always come back to Maas.

    Wow. Definitely worth the extra effort. Excellent. Looks brand spanking new !
    So what's your plan. Spray some clear or just buff it once in a while.
    Btw how much was the polishing.

    My pops knows a guy in Fontana who did it for 140 bucks for all. He does chrome polishing for big rigs. And I’ll buff them once in a awhile
