220 grit for the corrosion
600 grit to knock down the scratches from the 220
Heavy rubbing compund
Light rubbing compound
A polishing compound i made
And then mothers to finish it off

Debating on doing my stock wheels, i think it'd look purdy. But id have to find the time...

What kind of rubbing compound? I just picked up meguiars ultimate compound for the paint job im giving my trunk and new wing.
Doing a 1500 grit wetsand on the fresh orange peel clear and the ultimate compound is supposed to shine it back up.
Ive seen seperate heavy rubbing compound and then the polishing compound to finish. I wonder if meguiars did theirs all in one......
