Default My new Kicks! repolished !

Hey club lexus. Just wanna introduce myself to Club Lexus and post of pics of the recent polishing job i've done with a set of Fabulous Profound.!

One messed up set of Profounds. Got them for a good deal. Decided to just DIY and refinish it myself. Started with 220 grid to 320, 400, then wetsand 600, 800, 1000, 1500, 2000 and finished with the mag polish.

LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK!

UPDATE!


Wheels going on my gs


Test fitted the wheels before refinish!


Update Pic!!

good work. now use a sealant to seal those lips, or else its gonna be a PITA to keep shiny

btw, did u use bondo to fill in the curbs, or did u just sand them away? seems like u taking away a lot of material
