Bought a set of used Pacer Baja Champs for my truck. These are my favorite wheels. The set I bought is in decent shape but need a good polish (cast aluminum, I would love forged but I can't afford!). The main body is pretty easy but my question is on the lip. It has this fake bead lock look to it.

What is the best was to get in the small grooves and around the cap screws? Dremel with felt pad and some rouge? Is there a faster way to get a good polish? Also, the small button head cap screws are actually plastic, I need a way that won't destroy them.

Thanks

Eastwood has some nice small polishing mandrels and kits. Think for port and polish of intake manifolds and heads. An electric Foredom tool would be the cats meow for that job.

meguiers makes a polishing cone that goes into a drill. Think it costs like 20 bucks, used it and it works well. Make sure to seal the wheels after, or they will go to hell again.
