Default Wheel polishing in Chicago area

Anyone know of a place or someone that can polish my prostars for cheap? I tried on my own, but I just cant get the new finish out of them. Just want to freshen them up. Maybe even through some clear over the top for protection??? Maybe someone has suggestions on a process and products???

I used Mothers Billet Polish and small Mothers PowerBall. This worked great and everyone who has seen my dad's Pro Stars are shocked at the bling.

Ive used this same combo before. Its rather time consuming, but in the end its worth it.

Mirror Look in Naperville does a good job. I believe the owner is named Larry.

I tried and all it did was polish the imperfections (spent a few hrs on them). These things are pitted and have some sort of stains. I bought them like that thinking I could just polish them up, but nothing is working. These things need some attention.

I will check out Mirror look and get some pricing. What did they charge you for those wheels?
