Guy, I think Tom has refined the polishing of the ALCOA wheels to a fine science. Each wheel used to take about 15-20 minutes, now he can do them in 5-10 minutes using a 3" pneumatic polishing apparatus. The 3" size allows you to get into all the nooks and crannies using very high RPM's. I used it on mine yesterday and got the best results ever in just a few minutes. Unfortunately this pneumatic device requires 15 cfm to run (big industrial compressor)......my pancake compressor only puts out about 3 cfm. Will have to find an electric version.
Not sure what to do about your shroud......maybe a little black Rustoleum?
