Stupid Question - Torque Stars

[Sheepdog]

Alright... The polished looking appearance of the torque stars are high polished, right? Or are they chrome?

[nicksilvergt99]

polished aluminum, with a clear coat.

yep. wash and wax them.

[Sheepdog]

So I won't be able to wet sand/polish any road rash out of them if there would be any? (I'm looking into getting a set)

[Bio248]

not unless you want to do a TON of work just so you have to constantly clean them.

[Sheepdog]

Ugh..... alright... Thanks

[nicksilvergt99]

You could but you just have to re clear them

there is someone over at ls1tech.com that had excellent results that used paint stripper to get the clear off then just buffed them and recleared them. The WS6 wheels i seen that were done were completly amazing. search stripped ws6 wheels on ls1tech.com i have torques on my red gp but trust me its about to change cuz their never shiny enough for me! BTW no you dont need to take the tires off when using the stripper just hose them off good.

[Sheepdog]

Hm, I'll look into that. Thanks for the info.

my gt is bone stock too if you cant find the link for the stripped wheels let me now ill find the link and post it here this weekend. Ive tried alot of things to keep mine looking good but that stripper method was amazing. Kind of a no brainer the more i think about it. Most of the problem is the clearcoat getting trashed then the wheels look horrible.

[Sheepdog]

So... (Here it comes...) You got any pics?

[16MustangVet]

of my car or of the pics of the stripped ws6 wheels of ls1tech.com?

[Sheepdog]

You said you stripped your wheels, right?

[16MustangVet]

no i havnt done mine its on the list to do this weekend along with tinting the tails with vht. im looking for the link from ls1tech.com right now

[16MustangVet]

What an improvement! - LS1TECH These wheels look amazing after being stripped and polished from ls1tech.com reccomend this to every single owner of polished wheels.

[Sheepdog]

Alright, thanks. I also found some other links when I forgot you said it was at ls1tech. I might try doing this to some torque stars if I find a decent set...
