well i started with some 400 grit sandpaper then went over it again with a scotch pad to minimize scratches to get the corrosion ouff, then used a medium cut-high shine bar with a firm pad, then cleaned off residue with w clean soft pad followed by a hit with a mini power ball with some mother mag & aluminum polish here's a comparison pic since he brought the other 3 rims over
