Looks good, i did mine last winter, one rim at a time, such a huge pain, came out looking better and half decent but not as good as the job you are doing.

Well done!

No clear coat, takes the shine away. Key is to keep them clean afterward.
The set that's on the truck now is in better shape than these were.
I'll probably do them when I have time.

I did a set and they looked like chrome when done. Steps:
Strip coating with aircraft stripper
Sand out any curbing
Use fine steel wool to clean up surface
Use polishing compound and powerball or elbow grease
