0000 Wool + 2000 grit? (Tt2's) I'm sorry if this question has been beaten to death
like an unwanted red headed step-child, but after searching and
searching I still haven't found a solid answer so thought
it was a good idea to ask before I just "jump" into it.
I have Torq Thrust II's all around on my formula, when I
first purchased them I was an idiot thinking they where
chrome and used a chrome cleaner on 1 wheel (thank god just 1)
and It left a milky stains all over.
Now I have it in the garage right now, getting ready to to do this.
Should I start off with light finishing with the Steel Wool #0000 and
then wetsand with the 2000 Grit? And are there any steps/movement
i should make?
Will be finishing it off with White Diamond + mothers dynacone.
Thanks! pictures to ensue.

Depending on how bad they are will dictate what grit to start with. My suggestion would be to start with 800, then go to 1000 and finish off with 2000 grit. Then, get some damn good polish like Adams 1 and 2. I recently did what you are about to do to my CCW wheels and they turned out ****.

no reason to use steel wool. hit it with the 2000, try wet and dry to see what you like then polish it. if you dont like it you can come down to 1000 then finish off with 2000 and polish again. just try a couple different methods until you get what you like. just dont go down to 80 grit or anything lol

Yeah, the etched parts are coming out little by little. I'm taking my time with it as its the first time doing so. Should be ready to polish in a few hours.

Takes a lot of time and patience, I also picked up a 3000grit sponge type thing at advance auto that made the scratches even finer, I also started with 800 and worked down to the 3000 then used power ball with mothers polish and then went with weinol blue by hand made my coddingtons look brand new.

When I did my TT2's me and a buddy started at 800 and worked up to 2500. It took out alot of imperfections and small dings in the rims. If you keep working them right you will love the outcome.
my breytons have some scratches and am afraid to do it lol. good luck.

Here are mine before and after wet sanding with 1000, then 2000, then aluminum polish. You should be able to get that out fairly easily, will just take some elbow grease. Sorry for the crappy pic
Here is the same wheels, but a little bit better pic after doing all 4.
