Tidy Up Some Works XS2's

Recently for sale on here, one of the lads dropped them down to me to polish them up. Lips were scratched, curbed and there was dust and even some mud under the paint :(

Started off with a 220 grade...

Then used 400, 600, 800, 1200, 1500 grades and a new compound I came across yesterday for the first time, fairly happy with the results, split rims would make the job easier though :)

Top job Brendan, I've the horrible job ahead of me with the sa3's !
What was the compound ya used, used autosol on the enkei's on the civic but it was still hardship!!

Using a mix of them mate to be honest, I'd have to show ya, if wanna drop over sometime I'll happily help ya, I've Dori's with a reverse centre to do next, then a set of Advans and will probably do my meisters again since I got the mix just right...

There is no easy way really is there!! Haha, I'll get the brunt of the sanding sorted and if I get a chance I'll defo call up for a few tips!!

Gonna chance loosing some fingers and jack the car up and run it in 3rd gear!!!:p major danger!!!

Only works if you have a diff ;)

damn they're some nice rims, refurb turned out real nice!

Great job man how you plan on doing the spokes getting down into the work logo and the little dots around at the dish

Centre's are being painted but I'll prep them for the painter...

yay my old wheels, cant wait to see these finished
