How long does it take to buff all four wheels with Mr. Buffer and Powerball?

Also, are the magnesium Halibrands made in the last 5 years, lets say, better quality than the wheels made 10-20 years ago? Have there been improvements made in the casting process recently?
Also from the M&A Website

"WITH NEWER HIGH PURITY ALLOYS THAT ARE NOW AVAILABLE, CORROSION IS ALMOST NON-EXISTANT."

What's the cost for a set of wheels?
