Polishing rims

I havent polished the "R" rims but have the "C" rims. It took about 12 hours per rim. The way I did it was like this....no sanding and used a spirel sewn 6" polish wheel on a slow 2400 RPM drill using the black emory first. After getting the machining ridges out I went with liquid white diamond polish and they turned out great. These were the first aluminum parts I had ever polished and was learning the best process as I went. For best results you need atleast a 3200 RPM drill. I have tried all kinds of processes, sanding, no sanding, wet sanding and found it really depends on the part your polishing. The rims don't really need sanding first to get good results just start off with the black emory and your good. Forks and final drives require sanding to get good results. You can learn allot about polishing at www.caswellplating.com be sure to post pictures of your rims when your done. Here are a couple pics of my rims on the scoot after polishing
