Hey I've got a set of Mk2's I'm looking to polish. The lips are currently painted silver but one rim has pitting on it Open in new window
should I still try and polish it. The pitting is gonna stand out way more once polished. Any idea what I can do to fix it or should just take the one wheel to the professionals to get it done. The other 3 wheels are fine.

Yep hand polished by yours truly. Just Put the car on stands stuck the wheel on and put it in first or second an go at it with wet sandpaper. Started at 120 to remove big scratches then went 240, 360, 400, 600, 800, 1000, 1200 then purples metal polish. Took around an hour and a half per wheel.
