Polishing our wheels

[Kurt Horvath]

Has anyone polished out a satin finished rim to bright polish. I had to buy a rim last year on the road. They only had satin rims so I got stuck buyingone. I got a price from a crew working on polishing Prevosts out of Nashville, but they were too expensive.I couldget a new polished rim for what they wanted for the job. I'd like to do the job on the axel, but to do a good job I'm sure it needs to come off the bus.I've got a lot of time on polishig metal, but someone out there may have a better way then hand sanding to do an aluminum rim.

A drill motor with a polishing ball or wheel. I do mine by hand. http://www.competitionchem icals.com. Expensive. Outstanding product.

Taking the wheels off the coach, like Jeff Miller use to do, is not an option. The last time I had them detailed was at the 2004 RIV. And I just wrote a check. There are no detailers around here that I can find. So- what's the best stuff to use and what kind of buffer/equipment should I get? Is there a top dressing that can be used after they are polished?
