Most factory aluminum rims are coated with a clear coat. To polish them you have to sand off the clear coat. You can start off with a fairly rough grit...80, 120 or so. Then start using a finer grit in steps. 240, 400, 600, 800, 1200, etc. Then follow with a good polishing compound. They'll look like chrome if you do it correctly.
Yes, it does. =D

To clean bike rims effectively, start by removing the wheels from the bike. Use a mild detergent and water to scrub the rims with a soft brush or cloth. Pay special attention to any built-up dirt or grime. Rinse the rims thoroughly with clean water and dry them with a towel. Finally, polish the rims with a metal polish or wax for a shiny finish.
