Alcoa Wheels
I think the key is starting out with a laundrysoap washing then wet
sanding up to 500 grit. even if you plan to send them out. If you
have an angle grinder, pads and grit sticks are about the same cost
as hiring the balance of the job out. You can often find
independent polishers at a local truckwash. or ask a local bigrig
tire shop for a number.

You only need to polish 2 of them on one side and two of them on the
other side. dont forget to get new hub covers for the remount on the
rear.
