my rims
I just finished them, they took about 2 hours each, maybe a little less. I did one every saturday morning for 4 weeks. 
, a ton of elbow grease, steel wool/soap combo and a little black rustoleum paint

I didn't even polish them, I just rubbed them with steel wool lol so I guess I could make them shine more
I didn't use clear coat either, every saturday I go over them for a couple minutes to keep them shiny. Last time, the clear turned green like in the before pic.

mothers or rolite?
there was also one that started with 1000 but I forget the rest.

^^ I was thinking about purchasing one of those, they are made from felt instead of the typical foam ones and would probably work well.
any opinions?
