Polishing Alcoa wheels

Our Alcoa aluminium wheels are 10 years old and needed a good polishing. I had polished them before by hand but that wasn't doing it any more. Got after them with the official stuff and they look much better. About 5-10 minutes each after they are on the ground so you can get at them.

I used Zephyr products. A 10 inch wheel kit with polish bar, 2 inch extender and safety flanges. Links below

Lithium ion boost

Got a new dash cam and the battery wouldn't charge. Read on the net that if the resting voltage was too low the chargers won't charge, a safety deal. This battery had been sitting too long and the voltage was 2.2 instead of 3.7. Read that they can be boosted manually and that might get them going. I figured what the heck nothing to loose. Used a 4.7 ohm series resister and a 12 volt bench power supply. It took only about 20 seconds... This did work and now the battery charges. The dash cam is a Ebay deal from China. Very pleased with it My first cam lasted more than 5 years before the lighter plug power adapter quit. This cam has gapless recording model DVR-207GS and HD.
