What rims are they. For example Araya aeros are anodised silver so all the polishing in the world will be in vain until you strip off the annodising.

sent him mail already to get price for reanno but then its postage and strip rebuild costs .
they are gold ann but the sides are worn away so ive stripped the remaining anno off the side wall only and now wanna polish them .

just go down the grades greg.
i start at 400 and go down to 1200.
then a bit of autosol.
then t,cut
then autoglym.
by that time your arms should be falling off.
but you'll have a nice shiny set of rims.

you need to wet n dry Through staged papers down to 1500/2000 grit paper.... then take some used 2000 grti and do it again.... then cream polish.
 Polishing is just scratching a surface to a finer and finer degree
