I got an ED fairmont, and its fitted with Turbo Blades, i fukn love them suit the car but the clear is pealing off them , makes em look poor as, can the clear be totally removed and the rims chromed with sand paper and metal polish like people do with rocker covers etc???

I think you would want to get a junk rim and practice first, do some searching on metal polishing on the net, learn what mops etc to use, its alot of work, but rewarding when done
