Besides sending my rims off to Pat or Leon, what's it take to get that high sheen on the outer rim?  Just this and elbow grease? http://www.simichrome-polish.com/

John, this wheel was completely sand blasted after I striped the paint off of it.
To get it smooth enough to polish, the rough surface needs to be sanded down...and I mean A LOT of sanding!!

I started with 80 grit and worked my way up to 600 grit before the polishing ever started.
And the polishing is done with pneumatic tools, not by hand.
I like to use a die grinder with a cloth wheel and rouge.
This will get you there 98%.
It is only after all that, is when the Simichrome is used for the finishing touch and continued maintenance.

Leon,

Your hard work looks incredible.  

I cheated and had my GSXR wheel completely powder coated. It now matches the front FZR wheel
