    Your polishing eforts are good but still room for improvement, Esteroils always look good when mint, especially this set.

    You need to get a bucket of water, some soap and many stages of wet and dry! Start with the heaviest grade of paper and keep working down, until the finest grade, then all they will need is buffed up with autosol or peek! Takes for ever, but worth it. Not really the weather to be running polished rims these days anyway, all that hard work will last 2 minutes in the rain and salty roads!

    Good luck though!
