Go to the Classifieds section of this forum and see the wheels that I have listed for sale - three of the six were polished with Heavy Metal.

There is a supersize of one unpolished, and one that I had polished about two months ago with the Heavy Metal, a 6" buffing wheel/mandrel, and a drill. Should give you some notion of a before/after on your particular wheel. Of course, the more you do, the better it will look. I think it took me something like 20 minutes to get a wheel to this point, while off the trailer. In short it's easy to make them look good - after which you can use something like Glisten PC to clearcoat them again.

Good luck.
