Just looked the Virginia Carolina chapter itself is not even listed in the Wheels of Time so it must have gone belly up!!

There’s a whole series of wheels and compounds that work with stainless. Look at the Eastwood site and you’ll find what you need. Stainless is a tough and forgiving metal. I’ve blended out some pretty deep scratches on some pieces I’ve fixed. On my exposed hardware I replace a lot with bolts from Totally Stainless. I’ll file off the head markings then buff them out on a wheel. They’ll look like chrome and never tarnish. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/4/#findComment-500582 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob Expand There's 3 kinds of Rouge green,brown,and white also 3 buffing wheels green,yellow,and white. That's what I use. Also if the stainless is heavy with rust I use WD40 and steel wool and it turns out pretty good. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/69289-coca-cola-lj-mack-colors/page/4/#findComment-500595 Share on other sites More sharing options...
