Can these polished wheels be brought back 100%?

Im thinking of picking up these used CCW 19s for my GTO, but they have some scratches it seems and also looks like some "micro-marring" from improper washing/polishing I presume.

Heres the pics:

I know that the pics suck, but I cant help that...



Thanks

I think the Mothers Power Ball Mini would work well on those.

Yea thats what I was thinking as well but Im not sure about the scratch in the 2nd to last picture...

I tried using the polishing ball on some rims and it didn't do squat, I was very disappointed.

use a better compound/polish.

You can try the yellow powerball to see if you can remove the scratch. I myself use a red powerball to restore my 19 OEM chrome rims when I bought them.

These set of rims were far worse

If they are really "scratches" that you can catch a finger nail on I would think it would be VERY difficult to remove with conventional detailing methods, if not impossible. If it's surface marring I would think you could correct that. :nixweiss



Good luck.

Mother's Powerball and PowerMetal to start with; that will get the BIG stuff and get a good general shine to them.



Go back with Adam's Metal Polish combo 1 and 2; the stuff is GREAT and warrants every good praise it gets. Really the best you can do without breaking out a bench grinder; buffing wheel and rouge starting from scratch.
