    Default polishing wheels

    Want to get my MK2s professionally polished so they are really shiny and stuff

    Who in Adelaide does this?

    What sort of prices?

    North would be ideal

    Eddy was telling me of a guy who comes out to do them for $100/per wheel which seems pretty good.

    Thanks, Ben.

    There is a place somewhere called reflections I think, and they are much cheaper. Ask the Wookie about it, he knows where it is.

    Reflections Metal Polishing at Kilkenny, drop them off in the morning, pick them up later in the day, they'll do an awesome job for the price of a tub off autosol per wheel

    I would show pics of my rims I had done, but cbf'ed finding them
