Thanks gents. Better info than I've been able to find.

Wanted to check before attempting to polish a rim. No point if it won't shine

The alloy will shine.

I used to be a metal polisher.

Its technique.
Also stay away from sand blasting!

Sandblasting works well if you want to paint them.

Process started, about 30mins work so far scuffing up the paint and using a flapper wheel on the edge.

I think I'll want a paint stripper for the others to cut down on the initial work

Some deep gutter rash that may need welding to build it up vs removing material.

The valve stem ??
Gutter rash ............. if it is what you have shown there, progressive sand paper grades and a block will get rid of that.
