Get one of them polishing attachments on your drill... cover the rim in autosol and give it a buff!!!

..... should do the trick as you're nearly there with them rims!

Popped into machine mart today and picked up a polishing kit for just over £10, comes with drill attachment, 2 polishing wheels and 2 blocks of polish. Plan to hold my drill in the workmate and give it a go this weekend.
