Polishing Outer Hub

[aircooled]

I've been trying to figure out a way to polish the outer hub with not a lot of luck. I have learned that trying to polish the hub area with the drill speed to fast will melt the plastic. What are some of the methods being used?

Before I polish the wheel bore I mount a q-tip shaft in my cordless drill with just enough shaft to go thru the bore. Then I slowly install the shaft in the bore with the outer hub facing out. Now I can polish the hub while the wheel is turning in the drill.

Good tip ZZ.... I actually have never polished the outer hub area, I just wax it with the bore. I will give it a try and see if there is some additional speed there/images/boards/smilies/smile.gif

This is exactly how I do both inner and out hubs. Works great!!

What polish do you use, your talking about the part where the axle head will be correct?

I use this method also. I first polish with DD4H #1, then with Red Rocket or whatever you use for polish #2. I let it spin on a dril, using the polish on a clean cloth.

once it is polished....do you then rub in DD4H graphite over the inner and outer hub edge surfaces, similar to rubbing graphite in the bore itself?

Yes rub in the DD4H graphite!
