Default Wheel Polishing
I made a mandral out of 3" round stock to fit in the center of the center lock wheel and spin it in a large lathe. Then used several various grits of sandpaper and ultimatly "Mothers Aluminum Polish" to bring out a brilliant shine on the outer lips and the area connecting to the spokes. I was fortunate to have access to a large lathe, it helped eliminate alot of "elbow grease"!!!
10-15 minutes each.
