My results on the wheels are "ok", results on an old tarnished souvenir spoon were excellent and cleaned up a penny pretty good too. I'm gonna get one of those buff balls before doing any more on the wheels it's just too much and the dremmel would probably run far too high speed. Hmm.. I think I still have those old f-ed up headlamps from the ZJ. They are just in case a rock kills one of my headlamps so no loss to try. :) It's a little too dark to get good photos now but the two spokes I did do look cleaner/less yellow. Ain't nothing short of machining that's going to fix them properly but I am seeing better results than ye olde rubbing compound. -- DougW Be afraid, for I have tools. |

I use it to polish up my shifter when it needs it, and by this picture you
can tell it is in need of it right now. http://www.cantrell.com/scrap/shifter21.JPG Stuff works great.

Re: Flitz, any opinions?
Ok..
I've used this stuff on lots of things.. Just wish I would have taken some before picks. :/ Oh well. On the wheel (manually rubbing) Still have yet to get a buff-ball thingy. The two spokes closer to you vs the one on the left. In the sun it's more apparent that the yellow tinge is also missing. http://www.revbeergoggles.com/temp/flitz-wheel.jpg Here is an interesting bit. I did the pulley on the supercharger just to see what this stuff would do to a basically unprepared surface. Not too shabby. http://www.revbeergoggles.com/temp/flitz-pre-pulley.jpg http://www.revbeergoggles.com/temp/flitz-pulley.jpg And this is BLING baby! http://www.revbeergoggles.com/temp/filtz-radcap.jpg ok.. Jeep bling.. :) shiny parts, and not just the top of my noggin either. :] -- -- DougW -- 93 ZJ 4.0 http://members.cox.net/wilsond HESCO Supercharger - 300W IASCA Stereo - Edelbrock IAS Shocks Gibson Exhaust - rear DCpower - custom gauge install - Stillen Rotors Banks Header - and BEER, in the fridge! |
