Does anyone know if our forged stock wheels can be polished? I've seriously done some damage by removing the paint. I've polished 2 sets of aluminum wheels before and once you get the paint and clear coat off, the wheel shows it's true colors are are extremely shiny, then you would polish them. I've done that on 2 sets of wheels. Now I tried it last night on one wheel and when I put the aircraft stripper on and waited. After all the paint came off, it does not show the bare metal. It shows a very light grey looking primer coat. The air craft stripper will not remove this no matter what and I'm stuck with an ugly wheel. Here are some pics to show you. I don't want to pay someone $500 and wait 4 days when I can do this myself for free.
