Number 3 done, I've run out of microfibre cloths so ignore the polish residue.

I also need another buff wheel but I'll purchase when I do the final polish before tyres go on.

Lol it if wasn't for this thread, I may have backed out earlier.

Thanks Imoengnr, It's paying off and I'm glad I stuck with it.

Last one done now, mostly polished by hand, no buff wheel yet.

This was the worst of them as there is a variance on the alloy, it didn't shine up as nicely as the others. While its shiny, the reflection isn't as good.

Thanks everyone, been reading up on ceramic coating and there is a lot of products out there. First thing everyone mentions is get the finish done first, so I've re hit No 3 rim with polish.

Looking at a tiny 30ml liquid ceramic for $60 or more, over the spray on larger bottle. Reviews say more concentrated formula will last longer. Some 1-2 years depending on stacking and how often it's cleaned.

Anyone have any recommendations?
