Great to see the car arrived with no problems. Good luck in the wheels! I personally have spent many hours on many occasions sanding, yes I said sanding, and polishing those things just so Jim could go haul ass around the block.
Once you get them polished up, try putting a pure Carnuba paste wax on the mag, and wipe it off of course; that helps with the elements and will buy you a little more time on the shine. Later

I decided to go with the "matt" finish instead of the "polished" one.  Cool

I love the look of the "matt" magnesium.

My only concern will be  to protect the magnesium (and the whole car)  from the French humid climate  Grin

No oxydation , I have a product for that  Grin

I used it for years on my 1970 911 ST 2,5 factory racing car.

The car had 10" wide minilites in magnesium at the rear because Fuchs were not availlable in that size at the time .

It's even better than paint because it doesn't peel off with the heat.

The only thing is you have to apply it once a month or so. It takes 1 min per wheel   Wink

Unless you're joking... I believe the term in regards to the wheel finish is matte.

Carry forth.

"Golf Blue" a lovely color that can look very different wether  you're in sunny So Cal or in rainy Northern  Europe.   Grin


Love it too either way Cool
