Hello and Welcome
![]() High polished rims... Im assuming you have a mk5 GTI? lol Thats the only time I have ever heard that term used... hehe You can use a normal rim cleaner (I supply) and then you can use pretty much any LSP or wax you want on them. I use Collonite on the rims but there is a lovely product called Rimwax which has had some brilliant reviews... Give that a try. I will let Carn and the other JHB guys help you with a starter kit. Have fun! Mike |

RE: howzit guys
Hi blaqboi and welcome. If you looking to learn about detailing then you have come to the right spot
![]() I am not certain what exactly you mean by 'high polished rims' but I will have a stab at a few common ones : If it is the diamond cut finish that is cleared over (similar to many deep dish wheels and the Mk V GTI) then just about any regular paint polish should help bring back some of the shine. If however they are the bare polished aluminium type then a fine metal polish (Meg's NXT) would be what I would recommend. Some of these polished lip style mags are also cleared over and as such would require some polishing with an normal clear coat type polish as already mentioned ![]() As far as a starter kit goes I can help you out there ![]() David : 083 642 2118 www.mobileimage.co.za ![]() |

RE: howzit guys
Hello there
I dont ram my products... If you read the OP you would see he asked what products he should use on his rims... I suggested my rim cleaner and Rimwax. I also said I use Collonite. I dont even stock Rimwax and Collonite. Don does! Whats wrong with that? FYI I also suggested that Carn put together a starter kit. I could also have done this yet... I asked Carn... How is that ramming? And thanks.. .Will add a URL to my sig... Never thought of that... (Been a long week). Mike |
