Wheels look great, I have a question about the Rouge... how to you use it? I got a polishing wheel that came with white rouge but it seems too hard to do anything with it

^ you have to spin the wheel up on the DA then touch it to the rouge to transfer to wheel then move to the wheel. rinse and repeat......

As the residue builds in the polishing wheel (black clumps) I found myself touching the wheel to the edge of my bench to knock off the clumps. GL

Anyone know anyone/place that does good paint work? im looking to get the centers painted!
Nice looking wheels...didn't know this is what you were working
on. You should powdercoat them. It will hold up better over
time. Spam16v does PC'ing.
