Abstract
A polishing machine for wheel rims including a power driven wire brush or buffer mounted so as to be slidably movable axially of the shaft driving the brush. The wheel and rim are separately driven and are mounted so that it can be swiveled so as to tilt the wheel rim relative to the radial direction of the brush so that the brush can engage all the areas of a rim including the edges as well as the bottom of the rim.
