    I did mine myself, It's time consuming ( about 4 hours per wheel) But not real hard.
    Here's before and after pics. They look much better on the car.


    One of them on the car, they were dusty in this pic and needed another coat of polish.

    Let me know if you want to know what I used.

    Try J&S, they are down off of KY17, 3L or Madison Pk which ever you prefer to call it. They are right near Pioneer Park.

    I have had stuff polished at St. Bernard Polishing and Dan's Custom Polishing in Covington. Both were great.
    1991 Mustang GT 5.0L (under the knife)
    1968 Camaro 4.1 L6 (for the moment)
    2002 Subaru WRX 2.0L turbo
    1998 F150 XLT 4.6L (getting fixed!)
    1992 Civic Si 1.6L (40+mpg)

    I do them, but have had no time to drive to Dayton or Cincy to make a pick up. I still owe one of the board members a polishing on his Merkur wheels. Maybe I could meet up with both of you at the same time? LMK...My website is in my sig...check out some of my work... Pm me if interested...

    I have been tossing the idea around of doing that to the ten-holes on my '85 coupe, but wouldnt it be a pain in the ass to keep on top of them to keep them shiney?

    I'd think a coat or two of clearcoat would make things a lot easier

    I polished my aluminum slots on my MustangII, but now they need re-polished after this past winter, I am definitely clearcoating them next time

    I would have them powder coated clear not just clear coat paint. BTW I have the stuff to powder now it just a matter of getting a new outlet put in the garage for the oven and getting some practice.

    I have a feeling I'll be getting ahold of you when it comes time to having my aluminum slots coated

    Thats cool, I want to get plenty of practice on my own stuff first though. Everything I've read so far though sounds like it is pretty easy.

    That's what we do, I just have a friend that loves to put everything on the web. He made us a free website over it after I did some motor parts for his Mark VII lol. As for being easy, it's not easy. I put tons of prep work into my polishing. As for keeping them clean, I seal everything that I shine. I dont reccomend clear coat, or powder, if you look at aftermarket wheels, that's where the corrosion comes through, between the clear or powder and metal, and makes them look like crap. It also makes the aluminum pitt like a mofo when that happens. If you seal them after a fresh polish, then the finish will clean right up by hand if they get dirty. Also the pitting wont set in as hard either....Just my .02 though...
