Default Shops for polishing rims?

Hey guys!

Can anyone recommend a shop that polishes wheels? I have Work S1s and the lips are lacking that brand new luster. Just wondering if I can still get that back.

thanks!

Sweet! Do most shops ask you to drop off your wheels? Can't you arrange an appointment and wait for it to finish the same day?

Check out velvet wheels in Escondido. They offer a mobile service that comes to you, but they require the better part of a day to complete it, they will either polish your wheels or put a clearcoat back on depending on what your preference is.

Default Rims

For those of you that have done this, roughly how much did it run for all four wheels?

it all depends on the condition of your wheels and whether it has anodized lip and some other factors. it can range from $25 (bolton classic wheels in torrance) to $100+
