Hi All,

just bought a pair of refurbed Speedlines in white. There are painted in 2pac. Do I need to rub them over with white paint polish before putting them on the car?

Cheers

you dont need to touch them, you can polish them if you want to though it wouldnt hurt.

Some polish would be a good idea TBH. Brake dust will come off easier when you clean them.

Same here.

Polish (the "make them shiney" type, not European worker) them, then apply two or three coats of wax. When it comes to clean them, less brake dust will have stuck to the wheel and it'll be easy to keen clean.

A must on white wheels IMO.

No. Polish is an abrasive, wax protects the shine.
