Most people don't know how to restore steel rims. Steel rims often get stuffed up with incorrect repair processes that render them in a poor state, like sand (glass or garnet) blasting which deposits media inbetween the tight spots. If you are going to clean them it has to avoid these two types of media near the tight spots and swage lines, Chemical cleaning has it's own issues with chemical residue left behind that affects the painting process.

By using aggressive abrasive media to remove the paint and rust which some times removes the crisp round swag lines around the base of the raised circles or just laying on too much primer and paint, is an unsatisfactory solution for a high quality restoration in my opinion.
