One wheel fully done, took me about 2-3 hours. Stripped the black paint that the previous owner sprayed on, and the factory clearcoat. Then I had to sand down the texture that was on the wheel (you'll see in the pics). I did so with my PC and some 80 grit paper, then did 180 grit by hand, then wetsanded 680 and 1000 grit, and hit it with the PC again with E1 metal polish (knew that pad that came with the PC would come in handy someday). I sealed it with KSG, but is there something else that would work better for aluminum?
Before:
Stripped of the black paint + factory CC
Close up shows the texture that I had to sand down
After sanding
After polishing

Planning to do the others when I get time.
