go get yourself an aluminum polishing set from harbour freight, it's on sale right now for $15

do i have to use the aluminum polishing set during the sanding process, or use it after im done sanding??

also would i need to use the aluminum polish often?? or is it like a one time thing??
would the sanded part of the wheel get dull after few washes or couple of rainy days?
thanks....

^^+++1 on what tmack6 is saying.. but one question.. what if the rim already has clear coat on the polished lip? if that make sense.. so after sanding and polishing do i have to re clear coat the rim?
