    Default 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
