Polishing Rear Wheels

[gotwarrior]

I a have set of stock wheels that are in pretty good shape. I already have polished fronts, but I want the rears to match. Is it possible to strip the stock wheels down, then sand and poslishe them? I know it will take time, but I will have alot of it....

By the time you get done doing that you could have boughten some polished aluminium ones pretty cheap.

Alot of people are pretty proud of their wheels. I have not found any good deals on anything.:(

I'm not saying it can't be done, it can, but it's gonna take alot of sanding to get the brushed part off the wheels. I've seen people do it and it looks good.

Can I use Aircraft stripper to get it off. Or is there anything to strip off? Just sanding?

Jack the back and of the quad up, start it up and put it in gear. Get out the sand paper and start sanding. After that buff it the same way, just stick the front end next to the wall incase it falls off the jack.

I did this with a set of jeep wheels up on a lift, they came out nice.

Sadly that sounds like a pretty good idea. U may have to turn the idle speed up you dont want it rolling on the clutch.
