Default Who polishes rims in upstate ny

I removed the clear on my ws6 rims and the rims need more than some billet polish and a powerball or my hand can do.Anyone charge like 20-50 bucks a rim and get them looking like new??

Upstate ny pretty close to Albany

Take a look at caswell plating, they have some great products and support forums that make this process much easier.

The set I did I just put a aircraft stripper and let them sit, a run of the mill paint stripper wont work, the rims I did where in bad, bad shape. I had to fix some curb damage, and sand a lot to get out the pitting. I just got some polishing blocks and started polishing. You will need somekind of buffing tool. Then once they start looking good hit them with some Adams or white diamond and they will look good as new. You might not need to sand, it depends.
