    Ohio Tire in Bowling Green, OH has a polish machine and they do a great job. Also up north east of Fond du Lac, WI in Chilton is Evan's Custom Polishing...he does the best work I have seen in at least 5 years.

    Let me just be clear, I asked for a company that would do this, I didn't ask how I could polish my wheels. I found a local company thst pulls the wheels off and uses the the robotic machine. The wheels now look like brand new, lost a little shine as I opted for the clear coat protection which provides about 3-4 years of protection. No more polishing, no more acid, no more citrus shine... just soaP and water paid 90.00 per wheel.

    Sounds like an excellent deal to me. I have to take mine off and deliver and pick them up and no mention of clear coating for $120.00 per wheel. Wish it was closer to me.

    I'll try to snap some pictures of the finished wheels, didn't have a chance to yet. Amazing finish, wheels look like new. Like I said the clear does dull them a little bit, but to think 3-4 years just soaP and water to shine the up again speaks volumes to me.
