you need to remove the clear coat on the wheels first. then sand it down a little bit. you won't need to go hardcore like the thread since they're polishing the wheels.

its really not that hard to refurbish your own wheels just a little time, i re painted and refinished my wheels in black it took about 3 hours of sanding on each wheel (i did it all by hand) but they turned out perfect all the curb rash is gone and my wheels like brand new out of the box if you want some pics or direction or even someone to do it for you pm me
