I spent about 30 mins each wheel using a medium cut buffing compound and a MF hand pad. Then followed with a chrome polish quick detail spray to finish it up. Heres the after pics!

Thanks for looking!
 
Excellent job and thanks for the pics. What compound did u use and was this done by hand or machine? I have a Silverado plus I'm a mobile detailer in northen Virginia. Thanks again.
 
Amazing turn I love the shine if you did not say they was chrome they looked as if they where painted silver type rims before the polishing process keep it up
 
Very nice turn around! Bet the owner was happy

WOW is the first thing that came to mind, man what a turnaround.
Impressive to say the least.

I've seen a few new vehicles with these on board, and they have not really impressed me, that they almost border on looking like an aluminum rim, not a chrome plated one.

Nothing like a show chromed wheel.

These truly look outstanding though, and the difference is night and day.
Great work! Mark

Im not normally a fan of these either. Ive done more sets of these wheels then I could possibly count and alot of them were in much worse condition. This set turned out pretty good tho
 
Those results are spectacular to say the least. Bet the customer was blown away!
 
Amazing transformation!

After seeing the first pictures it didn't look like that chrome finish could be salvaged. But you made them look like new wheels.
