Polishing Eurolines: Any Tips?

First of all i would like to state that I have read the sticky in this sub-forum concerning the Euroline's Lips.

I recently bought these "beat" eurolines and I have decided to try to repolish them before I mount them onto my car.

Hopefully you guys can share with me some tips because this is my first time polishing Eurolines. :biggthumpup:

Onto some pics;

My questions;
1. What kind of compounds do you guys recommend I use for the different types of materials that the wheels consist of?
Going  through the Euroline lip thread I read that lips have a different  finishing surface(clear coat), and I am very worried about using a metal  polisher on the plastic(ish?) lug nut covers.

2. Whats the best method on removing the scratches in picture 2 and 3?
Ive taken a soft steal wool ball on them and it has smoothed them out a bit, but I may be doing something wrong.

3. Whats a safe way to remove the yellow oxidation around the areas where the face of the wheel meets the lip(pic 2)?



So far i have done a couple of passes with steal wool to clean up the wheels and have used a Meguiars DA with metal polisher.

Thanks in advance for your help!

metal file, then work your way up to 2000 wet sand...

to do it right? take apart wheels have faces powdercoated to desired color use a file/sandpaper/large hammer to do more damage/ to get rid of the curb rash  then just start sanding  personally, its worth it to just send it off for refinsish to me. it takes WAY too many man hours to do it at home

yup!!!! i cleand my type-n's idk how many times and still need a refinish/touch up, im just bring them to a shop in the end. your best bet do the same find a good shop n and have them do it you be amazed!!

i did all 4 of my curb rashes in about 4-6 hours...jack up your car, mount the rim, and place car in drive...for high speed polishing, get it up to 3k rpm using a piece of wood and slide the seat forward placing the wood between the seat and gas pedal...

the faces are probably clear coated, use aircraft stripper to remove clear and start polishing with a 3" buffer...




use the edge of the outer lip as a burn line if its anodized...
