Polishing phone dials question
The wheels on my '87 Quad are pretty fugly, scuffs and such. I was thinking about getting them polished. I saw pictures of someone's on here polished and Im sold on it. Does anyone know if they are anodized, painted, clear-coated, etc? The shop wants to know before they give me a price. Also do they contain Magnesium?

I took the cheap & easy way. #000 steel wool and 2 cans of Krylon Chrome Aluminum spray paint. From ten feet, they look new.
