Looks great Terry. Which paint stripper did you use and how long did it take you to do one wheel?

you can readily buy mops and professional polishing equipment to suit eg your 200mm bench grinder polisher from Industrial supplies co's or eg Total Tools.You can polish your saucepans as well! Bunnings are a second choice for many industrial items- they know nothing and often do not have the right items.Same applies for wet and dry etc where you want a good choice the auto paint suppliers have a full range. Restorers often have to remove paint and various scale rust etc and this can be done with a variety of media. A wheel works is likely to have a bath as are metal finishers powder coaters etc.

do you have to cover them with a clear coat to keep them like that?

do you have to polish them every few weeks? once you polish them?
