^ I agree.

Just a tip to make life a little easier.

I used a polisher on my wheels like the one you use on the exterior of the car on the paint. That works good on the face of the rims.
As for the crevises and in between the spokes I used a dremel with the white polishing bits and some Car bright Cutting Glaze It works quite good.
Mothers does the same thing.
I'll post a close up picture of my rims.

I'm going to start polishing my rims. Just got a question. When you guys are sanding...are you dry sanding or wet sanding?
