i have some audi alloys that are not bad but was wondering if i could get them up to a chrome like polish.
have seen lots of kits for about 20 pounds, are these any good?
any tips on how to, with home made products etc?
and what kind of lacquer could i use to keep the shine?

I'd be inclined not to lacquer them when done. Stone chips then water gets under the lacquer and youre back to square one

I'm not completely useless, I can be used as a bad example.

From experience:
1: It's ten times more work than you expect
2: in it's defence, it's cheap for the results
3: Lacquer doesn't like to stick to polished surfaces, and will chip, flake and look a mess in no time at all. It will also hold water against the metal.
It's a lot easier to give it a sprice up every couple of months and run without lacquer than to fix lacquer base awfulness
