Motomag wheel Restoration need advise

Hi Guys need some help with my supergoose build, just picked up a set of Motomag wheels off ebay, not arrived yet but the pictures suggest they are in good condition,they are bare at the moment and i want to keep them that way but i want to get them to a high polished condition.
Can some one give me an idea of the process from start to finish and what products to use on these classics.

First, clean the wheels with alloy wheel cleaner ... the stuff you'd use on your car wheels
Then polish them with either Solvol or Peek

hi mate i just polished the edges of mine its hard work but worth it
just work ur way down through the grades of wet and dry ,use it wet untill ur down to very fine then use wire wool and then polish ie autosol or somethin similar
the main ingrediant is elbow grease

Cheers Guys, those mags look great, like the yellow with polished rims, gone for gold parts on my goose that finish would suit did you spray them yourself fully then rub down the rims after .

no mate i got them sand blasted by a mate then polished the edges
then i masked them off and then sprayed the wheels i figured if ya tried to polish the edges later ya would deffo damage the paint

By all means go hard on the edges but please don't polish the whole wheel. They never came out polished and they don't look that good done. But thats my opinion.
