Default Remove the clear coat and polished factory wheels

So I decided to put a 31" spare under one of my trucks and figured I'd use a factory wheel. One of the ones on the truck takes a ton of weight to balance (not the tire, it's good) so I decided to use that one as a spare. None of my spare wheels were as good as the ones on the truck so I figured I'd try cleaning one up. Sprayed it with oven cleaner and let it set for a few hours to remove the clear coat. Then I sanded out a few of the bad marks in it then cleaned it up with a scotch brite pad. My buddy owns a custom, high end snowmobile shop and he has a full time, in house polisher. He says "bring 'er over" and 15 minutes later, here it is.
Now I have to do the other 3!
