I just polished a few parts for my 62 T-Bird. Did it for fun to see how much time it would take. It took a while. Good job Vinnie. Looks great!

Clear would help,but I'm afraid the clear would chip or peel or turn yellow!!!

Yup - it will.
You'll have to keep it really clean to keep it from corroding. But I don't think that'll be a problem....

Sweet. I hate keeping up my wheels(just like yours BTW)
There's some stuff out caled Zoop Seal that's s'posed to be the sh!t for ploished metal. Especially aluminum. It aint cheap but for the effort put into gettin' her to look like that I'd spend the money. http://www.zoops.com/zoopseal.asp

Thanks again everyone,next Wednesday I get to continue "polishing" my racing skills!!!!This has proven itself to be a little more challenging,so far the best I could get was 9.60's..............Not bad,and certainly one of the fastest "street" bikes at my local track,but I'm shooting for 9.40's this year!!!
