polishing zq8 wheels

BDoober · 01-30-2006, 01:18 AM

I have a set of zq8s and i was wonderin what the best method of cleaning them up nice is, i know they have some sort of clear or protectant on them from the factory so i wasnt sure if it would be the same as normal aluminum polishing, any help appreciated due to the fact its prolly a dumb question..

Not dumb, id like to know too, I've tried alot of shit from polish's to spray's and nothing cleans it and makes it shine good..

You have to sand the clear off to polish them. It takes a long time from what I hear.

Rumour has it that they take upwards to 15 hours per wheel.

I'm getting ready to do this myself, as soon as the weather gets warmer.

I know this thread is old, an im no wheel polishing expert but heres what i did with my zq8's since this is my daily driver an im to lazy to sand them down

i took some windex an went over all the wheels to clean the brake dust/dirt off them, went over them with the klasse, then the nu finish.
