wat i did with mine mate i just paint stripped the clear off it gave it a good shiny finish but just on the weekend i re painted the white bits and sanded all the alumium with 1500 grade wet n dry then i buffed the inside part and they have come up looking awsome. but i would deffenatly strip all the clear coating off cause it looks shocking.

I've looked at doing mine up, but on closer inspection, there is no way I could get mine back to original condition. I found on a couple of them, a small chunk missing from the outer rim. Also, if I did do mine up, I would have to buy new centrecaps because my current ones are held in by silastic! Most of the centre caps have snapped off the little lugs that are meant to hold them in place. My avatar does them a lot of justice!

Turbo blades look awesome done up. I saw a boat trailer with turbo blades a while ago. They were all polished up and wouldn't have had a scratch on them. They sure made mine look scruffy. I wish I could have done a swap!

i'd paint strip the clear coat then get some sort of buffing compound and hit it with a mechanical buff. Should give good results.
