Thats a lacquered lip, you'll need to sand off the lacquer first then go up to about 1500 grit and polish with peek.
1500 is still a bit hard. keep going to at least 2000 and it will polish up nicley.
Just a quick question on this one lads. I want to refurb the dishes on my wheels too. If i do as said in this thread could i then give it a coat of lacquer so that it keeps the shine or would it keep it without lacquer? could be a stupid question now but i really havent a clue about wheel refurb ha. cheers
Forget about Peek. Autosol http://www.halfords.ie/webapp/wcs/st...egoryId_212371 works better and faster, also it's not that messy like peek. I just compare these two on my old Keskin wheels using polishing head attached to drill and with angle polisher.
If you're looking for wet sandpaper this crowd is best place to go. You can order mixed grit. Can't beat their prices.

Proper mirror finish![]()
If you give a coat of lacquer you'll end up loosing mirror finish. Also you can't spray lacquer on a polished surface cause it will start to coming off. Finish your polishing with 1500-1800 grit, and don't use any polish after all. Just clean it, heat surface up small bit and star lacquering.
Myself I wouldn't lacquer polished lips, quick clean once a week will keep them shining. If you have a power washer that'll help you a lot.
