The varnish on the shelf or open polishing? The pros and cons.

Friends!
Answering many times the same question:
"And discs certainly are oxidized without lacquer coating polished surface?"
Knew it was time to give EVERYONE their own view, and not only, issue.

I must say - I am a supporter of OPEN polishing, without any varnish.
And I have experienced a justification for my preferences.
Share with You the results of weighing:)

Want to see the advantages of the coating of lacquer (specific, because not all paints are kept on a smooth polished surface) of the polymer, for example:
1. The polished surface is protected from the external environment (water, touchless car wash, salt).
2. ... can't find a second item:)

Now the drawbacks (in my vision) (opinion of the author may not coincide with the opinions of others):
1. A significant reduction in the reflectivity of the previously polished and powder coated surface:The varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consShagreen, characteristic of the polymer takes place, the mirror is not very clear, but satisfactory:The varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and cons2. Polymer varnish is not an absolute armor, and in the case of paint damage caused by stones or tool on the tire, also underneath the seats of kozek there is formed a cavity and the surface begins to corrode.
3. Difficult level of renovation (low maintainability).
In the case kotska (any difficulty) and repair disk shelves, coated with a polymer varnish that can make the car owner?
-to put on the car the spare tire
-remove the rubber disk
-disassemble the drive, perform the depressurization
-rinse polymer varnish (buying specilaty)
-make damage (if strong) or you can sand and buff out the smearing (in the case of weak damage)
-re-apply the powder lacquer in the company that performs this service)
-assemble collapsible disc
-sealed drive
-a day after sealing, wear a rubber
-put the wheel on the car.
How much time will it take?
"A week! No less!" (C)
Do not perform repairs when bully shelf, I do not see as an option in principle!
After all, we're all aesthetes!:)

Now consider the shortcomings of the (seemingly many) open the polished surface:
1. Care needs to maintain a constant gloss shelves.
And that means time.
My operating experience for the past 4 seasons (including this one) drive partially or completely polished, allows me to state that the time to vacuum the car immediately after washing with regular shampoo is enough for wiping the polished shelves of public funds for polishing (Doktor Wax, for example).
And is this process as much as 20 min.
2. The exception operation of the polished disks in the winter.
Salts from cloudy shelf for the day.
3. For tire I constantly remind the guys, "not mazyte polished surface with your hands!"
The less we touch the polished shelf (except cleaning), the cleaner polishing remains.

Now about the MERITS of open shelves or polished drive:)
"And then Ostap suffered!" (C) :)
1. Absolutely amazing for its mirrored and reflective properties Shine of pure polished surface.
I'm testing a tape measure to determine the purity of the mirror.
Whether it's a monoblock (not collapsible disc):The varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consOr whether it is a polished collapsible shelf drives:The varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consWithout any varnish the desired reflection of the transmitted maximum:The varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consBut this is HAPPINESS!The varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and cons2. High maintainability polished shelves.
This means that to perform the repair shelf at Kock on the curb in much faster repair lacquered shelves.
If tuff is light, without removing the rubber and wheels directly on the machine I can sand the damage up to 600 grain and Polish to your recipe.
This repair took me 30 minutes.
In the case of serious injuries requiring navarivanija aluminum in an argon environment, I did NOT perform the procedure for removing and applying varnish on the shelf (because of its absence), and once polished the seam and polished it with his set.
By the way, not performing analysis and depressurization!
Such repair deep badass I perform for 4 hours, including the tire.
That's what I call HIGH MAINTAINABILITY polished open shelves.
By the way, all my cars in certain periods were completely or partially polished rims:The varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consThe varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consThe varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consAgree, note You are still paying their favourites:)
So take it even just for the sake of Your drives have become really DISKS!The varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consThe varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consThe varnish on the shelf or open polishing The pros and consBe brave in choosing the polished shelves!
I can tell you, having experience for more than three years on polishing discs.
All success and inimitable appearance of their horses:)

What if the polished surface to cover the chrome?

The idea is that the mirror properties are the same as in open polishing.
And the durability will be like lakirovanie surface.

from the curb I will not protect
and here is the point about the maintainability of such a shelf:)

From the curb there are pads on the wheel are OK 5000 set dial Moscow tampira .
Instead doctors try to wax sealant for drives purpose . I told them my husband and the price is 1500 no more in the Bank but enough for 2 years exactly

Romk, people here really want to wax once and so that would truservices from the glare on the pavement. And then — the grass does not grow on moecke water passed — and again eats away the retina. So people think, cover the layers of mega armor and that would be sturdy and prozrachnogo. Lazy people. Until I realized that it is necessary every time a beauty Polish. For dims.
And it's okay if shelves, and who is the infidel bbs RS and their ilk — polishing in a circle, while the latter made the first Shine lost.
I realized this long ago and decided that polishing is not my alter ego. Paint the wheels and then water. And that's all.
