What's your advice on cleaning up a set of C4 rims on (1988 Corvette).
I did a search and realized when I used Autosol the polish turned black almost immediately right after buffing a small area. So because the polish turned black I guess the wheels don't have a clear coat on them.
I then used a buffing pad (cotton several layers of cotton stitched together) on a hand held grinder and started to try to polish the rims.
The rims turned out okay, not as good as I would have liked. The grinder I think turns to fast and heats up the polish because it would turn black right away and then wouldn't buff off.
I'd then have to apply Autosol onto the black polished area just to remove it. Now the rims look about 70% better but I still can see small oxidization spots, and the rims still need something to bring them back to the OEM mirror finish.
What should I use ? Or should I just go back at it with the Autosol but with a polisher that has a variable speed, and try using it at a lower speed where the polish won't heat up ????
