No truck stops around here. I'll see if I can find the jewelers rough bars. There is a auto body supply shop in the next town over. Thanks

you have to have a buffing wheel and a high speed buffer for that.

Oh forget that idea. It will be easier to hit the junk yards and get another rim.

Was in Sears tool section the other day and they had the diff. "grits" of polishing rouge looks like little rectangle bars of play dough. You will need a cotten wheel that can spin fast to heat up the bar and melt it into the cotten wheel then get to buffing. start with a med grit then go to fine to get the mirror polish.

Are you sure it took all the clear off ? If it didn't that would explain why it only polishes in some spots. Let me know I will try and help I have been polishing in Australia for over 10 years now, road train bull bars car & bike parts
