thanks for the info!
No I have not balanced them yet, I just put them on Monday, but the car has not been drivin yet

After the clear is off I went from 400 Grit - 600 - 800- 1000 -1500- 2000

Only mother's I used, the best IMOP

No re clearing of the lips cause I would take away from the chrome like out come polishing leaves

I hear you, the stories I have from the screw up's in the past.
I always test shoot a peice of cardboard first to make sure presure is good and fluid flow is right.

Yeah I wish I could spend some time at a shop to learn even more but I just call a friend with a crap load of questions

Clear was taken off with oven cleaner
