What did you use to polish them and how long did it take for one wheel?

I used my friend, told him I would buy him dinner
It's a lot easier with two people. I used a 3 inch or so DA sander with grits from 80-600 Then some 1000 grit wet sandpaper Last an electric buffer and two grades of polishing compound As for how long... the one i started on is not done Rough estimate about four hours a wheel

Now.....
Now, I want to see you polish the center caps to the same high sheen.

thought about getting custom aluminum caps but that's a lot of money so figured I'd just paint them... any suggestion?

Painting them would be the cheapest as well.
