Default Polish your painted wheels?


Could you strip and polish the stock painted wheels with stripper, fine sand paper, fine steel wool, to give them a polished aluminum look?

Trust me itisn't worth the time and labor involved. And no, fine sandpaper and steel wool will not polish metal. It will just scratch the hell out of it.
