Great work keep it up!

My Style 5's look about like yours do after doing the same process. They look good, better than not polished, but to get a mirror finish you have to sand all the machine marks out from the factory. I left mine like they are. LOL

Hey, after the lip refinish, its necessary to put varnish ?

[@MegaJamar22]

It a ring !

How did the hold up long term without the clear? I did this about 10 years ago on my e39 and keeping the shine was a nightmare.

Hey, may be a bit late, but I have had my rc090's like this clear coat removed, and the shine looks like it did the day I refinished for the most part. I know a lot of people have this problem but it isnt hard to keep a good finish... I recommend once every two weeks you clean the lips, dry them with a towel, and apply some sort of protectant. I have been doing this for about 4 years with some trial and error and this is the best method I have come across.

@@slavicmansam3018 I ended up throwing on a few coats of clear just because im lazy.....

[@upstatetyler2380]

What compound did you use

[@cDOTodi]

How do I get the clear coat off?

[@nathanielortega9905]

Use jasco paint and epoxy thinner

[@kevinvitug7393]

Did you have to take the air out the tires?

[@therastamancare2331]

No, I didn't take the air out of the tires. You can leave the air in the tires while doing this project. It won't do any harm.
