I’ve seen videos where after sanding the wheels are painted. Is there 05d0948f9859e3b112e9fce7dea8a7c8.jpganyway I can keep the polished look and lose the oxidation thanks

3000 grit wet sand, polisher, and a lot of elbow grease.

Di you mind posting the products you used to get this finish. I'm thinking of doing this to my stock wheels as well in the near future.

Elbow grease is right. I remember working for a shop that serviced some exotic cars. I had to polish some magnesium wheels on a Porsche. Took all day to make them shine. Took about the same time to lose it and look grey again. I learned to appreciate the short lived super shine they had.

There’s also a spray on clear wheel coating. I used it on my C-10’s aluminum wheels. I still had to do the work mentioned above but the coating protected them.
