666 Wheel Swirl Marks Removal

jmr0311 · 05-24-2018, 07:26 PM

Wondering if you guys have any advice on how to removed swirl marks from black BMW 666 wheels. I cleaned them in a few occasions without using the proper tools and swirls marks have developed.

Painted areas could be polished. There are small tools to allow for this.

In for answers. My silver 666s have were swirled from pickup (thanks to the dealer, presumably). I've corrected the paint on the rest of the car, but close up views of the wheel faces make me cringe.

I'm tempted to use something like a Mother's powerball and metal polish combo, but I'm hesitant to use a metal polish on the clearcoated wheels. The design is too intricate to polish by hand IMO (at least without going mad).

Thank you guys for the advice. I also dread the job it would take to remove the swirl marks.

I feel like for the 666M design, it would be a PITA to detail. Personally, if it's not a show car, I would just do a general clean and call it a day. Wheels get dirty so fast that it would cover those imperfections. Especially with the standard brakes causing all of the dust.

I have one and even the smallest pads are a bit clunky. There are these rotary polishers that you fit to a drill - never used one but they may be better?
