Aluminium Filler?

[XS1100_OEM4ME]

Daaaaaaaaa!

Check me if I'm wrong, but Steveh wanted something that would polish up like bare aluminum.
The stuff you pointed out is for the painted rims that seem to be the norm on newer cars.
I think his best bet would be to find a used rim that wasn't pitted, as all the processes suggested so far are long on labor and cost.

Dau! new used wheels would be the best fix, DAAAAU! I said that already, DAAAU! This a a fix for the "pits" he was talking about, it is clear none of you know anything about alum wheel repair, but thanks for giveing your "expert" advice on the matter

Do you realize that in post 14 of this thread you already commented on the same quote from CZ ?

Hey

Hey Skids, I am no expert on anything, This all started with "is there a compound to fill pits in alum. wheels. I spent some time to find one that I have used in the past to try to help, then it went, weld, grind and what ever I was trying to help and give a choise that might help and with free shipping there and a cheap fix. I hope it helped some, it has worked for me, not perfect but good for the $$$. I have used it on auto wheels and it worked great, just thought it might help a fellow XS owner, maybe so, maybe not

+1, the best fix would be replace the wheels with real nice ones if he can find cheap. The paint, if you want to call it that, for the wheels has come a long way as seen here:

true, it looks best when sprayed on, but if he polishes the wheels 1st, fills the pits that show, then touches up with the silver coat, it should look good, not perfect, but good.

As to the shipping, the sight I sent is in the UK and offers free worldwide shipping to Australia

That Killer Chrome looks really COOL!!.

Unless the pitting is really deep, you might look at this.....

When doing wheels, I've found that putting an axle in a vise and allowing the wheel to spin slowly while using the discs takes care of any 'blending' issues you might have.
