I was wonder how you guys go about taking scrapes (not to deep) out of chrome araya's and scratches,so what is the best method of doing this,its just the rims are completely built,and dont want to dismantle them.

If there Chrome plated like you say Graham ....... your going to struggle .

Having said that i don't think i have ever seen a set of chrome plated araya aero's    Chrome 7X yes but not aero's.

[hokuspokus74]

They were the ones i got of patric,do you remember seeing them ones

ok here are the rims

Good news is they are not chrome plated.  Bad news is that to do a proper job you will need to strip them down otherwise the clear ano will be patchy where you rub them down to remove the scratches.

varying grits of wet n dry sandpaper mate, takes time but end results are lush. also depends how deep they are, some you might not be able to get out without ruining the lines/shape of the rim. above all though be careful.

[hokuspokus74]

Wet & dry it is then,have loads of that somewhere but its finding the fooking stuff

   Those look silver/clear anno'd?   Doubt they would be raw ally - I have been known to be wrong in the past though...

[hokuspokus74]
