I have had another member say media blasting is not something to do to your wheels when redoing them.
I beg to differ. if you really want to get out all the imperfections from driving on a set for 40 years media blasting is the first step. Then polish and add no clear coat over your polish. None. clear coat peels and yellows. thanks add your differing ways? what's best in your opinion? My way is to just simply polish with fine sand paper first then polosh with a paste and a polishing wheel. you can brush the aluminum behind the fuch with a wire wheel(brushed aluminum)or leave them media blasted or paint your color of choice.
