I was quoted £90 per wheel to be mirror polished, and this was not including blasting of the original coating.. so i decided against it due to cost.. that was by 'APS' in rochdale - https://www.acepolishingservices.co.uk/

I have polished wheels on my R1. Hate them and wish they would go away and put some clothes on.

Don't do it, you'll regrett it! If its a show bike and is NEVER going to get used then fine, if not, you best buy shares in autosol.

I have polished wheels on my Bandit 1200 and its a git to keep clean. Anything minging from the road need to be removed straight away or they get stained. Bluejob is good for keeping them shiny. But dont do it. I had a set of wheels powder coated recently and they look great and it was £30 a wheel including having the old paint taken off.
