Thanks - I checked it out. It looks like Turbocad has matured a lot in the last few years.

Certainly will be a treat !

Currently waiting on Quirky Corky the local polisher.
He's got my wheel rims ... said it'd be a week four weeks ago ...
He does excellent work, but this will be why he's called "Quirky".

OK, yes. I've done a whole lot of polishing on smalls myself.
I have various compounds and some smaller wheels to do this.
And good advice ...

Sometimes it will be necessary to "draw a line", however.
Rims are quite large, and these were ridden hard,and put away neglected.
Nasty is a word that would have described them well.

When I picked up the rims from Corky a day or two ago –
they have NEVER shined like that – not even when new.
The cost per rim was not much more than an 8.4 oz. Autosol !


In fact, I might need to let them oxidize a bit just so that they fit in with the rest of the program ...

Vansen, I'd advise against using a flash when you take the pictures for us!
