Actually I really don't mine if I have to polish my wheels everytime I gonna use my car, BUT since the the repro gas burner came out I never polish my wheels again.
That's the only way to make the differents between the real one and the repro ...
Cheers, Dokke

I disagree I ended up leaving the gym with my original burners due to the amount my bicepts developed with the polishing. O and with the excitment of being sexually aroused by them  |

Polishing does not take a lot of muscle power...........you just need to hang in  ...........So i guess you have been carring repro burners in a warehouse if you want to build biceps!  |

One of our Club members -Dokke- stated a few months ago that he leaves the Gasburners flat silver. reason (except from saving time & fingertips): By looking at them you can divide the "fakes" from the "real ones"-the fakes canīt get flat by themselves A quite good reason to let the Gasburners appear in a used-look.... |

I'm pretty sure all of us can spot a fake across the parking lot? All I have to to is look at the lug holes... I polish all my wheels by machine.. where I can.. Have you been up and close to some of the new fuchs "copies"? They are so far of that I consider them a brand new wheel... check out the area around the centre caps |

I restored / re-did my Gas burners 3 times in the process of restoring my '58. At one point I was so fed up with the magnesium going away, that I actually put some early 6's and 5.5's on it. That was in the chassis stage though, and I regained my senses about the Gasburners and found out about Enviropalting (plastic - powdercoat), and did the wheels for the third and final time. Between Gasburners and Cosmics (5 lug) - you can't go wrong! |

I polish my magnesium BRM's about every other month. I like Happich Simichrome the best. It doesn't take very long and I don't mind. |
