    ^ i have polished a set of wheel before by hand but it wasn't more than a easy 5 hour job !

    i know it will take time, i'm a huge DIYer

    how long do i leave the media blast/ stripper on for , also do i have to scrub it or do i just brush it on with a paint brush, also how much is needed for all four faces ?

    how long do i use the power tools/ compound after sanding and steel wool?

        ^ not everyone has $10000000000000000000 to spend on wheels for their car bro.

        i'm 18 with no job and i just bought a set of bbs rs and a set of 4 lips straight from germany, i will be happy hand polishing my wheels with a fat blunt in my mouth

        i'm extremely patient, if it takes 3 days to finish one wheel , so be it !

                  if you dont mind having brushed inner spokes i will polish the faces for you all 4 wheels for 400 including the hex caps and the center disks. turnaround time is about 4 days.

                  If you still want to do it yourself I understand but like they said without commercial polishing equipment plan on spending somewhere in the neighbor hood of 30-50 hours per wheel to strip and to polish using aircraft stripper/sand paper/ steel wool/ polishing compound

                  here is my work, these are my personal wheels so you can get an idea of what they will look like

                      polishing sucks, and polishing the inside of the spokes is going to be hell..
                      i hope you fucking **** your fingers.
