Stripping/polishing clearcoated aluminum

[greasemonkey]

(6) after wetsanding with varying grits. Looking much better already.
(7) painting the recesses of the wheels with some wheel paint I found in the garage (I still can't figure out where it came from).
(8) after painting, time to polish.
(9) I whipped out the electric drill, Mother's powerball, and Mother's powermetal polish. This shows it about halfway through polishing.
(10) finished product. You can still see faint marks where the corrosion was built up really badly, but most will be hidden by the center caps. These wheels don't look like chrome because they are a machined finish. It can still be shiny though.

I will have to post pics when I get the All Terrains installed. Might be a couple weeks though.
Hope this post helped somebody.
