Triumph TR6 - Wheel trim rings

Does anyone have any suggestions for polishing and refurbishing the original alluminum trim rings? I have tried fine steel wool and also compound without success.

Does anyone happen to have two that they are willing to sell? I have two that are near perfect and would like to use them if possible.

Hello John,

I bought buffing wheels at CDN tire that I fitted to a bench grinder. And still at my favorite store i also bought solid polishing compound similar to these ones in a smaller format:

And finally to protech that finish, I sprayed an aluminum mag wheel clear, also available at C-Tire (I know it is an herezy).

Cheers,
