Best way to polish alloy wheels?

[redliner]

Got some cav gsi rims fer my GTE reckon they'd look nice mirror polished in place of my aftermarket jobbees anyone got any tips to make the job easier ?

A job for a bead blaster, or an arm achingly massive amount of careful rubbing down. Powder coating isn't easy to remove. They would need lacquering ASAP as well.

on my old mr2 wheels i used sandpaper to get bubbles and rust off then used grinding paste and a buffer to cut the face, then i gave it a good laquer, looked amazing but had to be cleaned all the time, i also painted the insides black so the wheel appeared bigger.

can be done in a day but your best off taking your time doin this, get a fifth alloy so you can take 1 wheel off at a time and still use the car!
