I think he should try with metal polishing compound like moparman say. It could work out well and it could be much easier with a machine.. You can use a pulley/caster with cotton or similuar soft material... on a drill machine... don't know the words here, but something like this

I see there are'nt space enough to my pic's comment's.. If you got "Autosol" In Ireland Raven? Try that with a cotton caster (or other soft material that don't grind the rims) on a machine, it could be worth a shot.

This usally works on most labours.. If it aint rust through the chrome, it should work polish like moparman suggested... Posted: 02 Apr 2008 12:38WOW, nice work there Jimi!

I think I've mistakenly gotten rid of some decent rim's, that Autosol could have brought back. 
Posted: 03 Apr 2008 13:34Yep Autosol produce good results, if you have the patience
