yeah, use aircraft stripper (think thats what its called). . . then wet sand. id start with 2000 grit. if that doesnt make them nice and smooth go to 1000, 800 if necessary but not any courser. then you can prob finish them off with some mothers metal polish and a good buffing attachment.

polished wheels CAN look great but they are a huge PITA to keep that way

that is cheap when you consider countless hours of mothers ball and polish.

yeah I haven't been able to walk for about 15 months after my motorcycle accident and wshing the car on crutches is not an option. so I like not having to polish the wheels. plus paying for some one to wash the car sucks.
