what a stroke of luck for me. I am going to refinish a set of chrome wagon wheels that are incorrect to my car, and wasn't aware enough to think that the process pictured would be good for car wheels, although I had seen similar polishing pictures on other stuff.
I really figured to reverse the electroplating , and then I would have to pay a guy to hand polish the results, since chrome is heavy and I didn't want it. Going to talk to my selected wheel refinisher next week, and see what can be done. That kind of machine polishing is perfect for my needs, if I can find it locally. Now I just have to research clear coats.

I’ve been to two goat ropings and a **** fight, but I ain’t never seen nothing like that! 
I would have kept my wheels polished if I had one of those in the garage.

That wheel turned out amazing. Saved the company name (and website) for possible future reference.
