    Get a name for me?

    Hey tony, did you ride down that way yet? I'd like to get it done while I have the $$.

    Thanks.

    The metal polishing place on Lawerenceville highway is called brass masters. it is between the home depot and the autozone on the same side of the street as the home depot.
    They are next door to a vet. Sorry but I was not able to get a phone number.

    Thanks!

    The timing couldn't have been better. I just 2 of them polished at a place Wylie suggested in Dunwoody, but it was a detail shop. Granted he did get them very clean, but didn't have the tools do what I was looking for. Thanks again.

    Expensive

    Well I went by Brass Masters on Lawrenceville Hwy, the guy there was helpful, but said to take these aluminum wheels to a mirror finish it'd coast $150-200 a wheel! So I said thanks anyway and went on my merry way. Looks like I'll just do what I can and let them go. He did suggest I can put a coat of wax over the mothers to prolong the finish....Anyway thanks for the lead tony.

    Try a small cloth buffing wheel on a handheld drill. I have seen ditterent types of small wheels and buffing heads that might work. Let me know the results.
