On the unofficial bmw web page, I saw some posts where they cleaned, sanded(340 grit)and sprayed wurth silver on the wheels followed by a clear. They reported like new results. Although my wheels are in good shape there are places toward the center of the rim where it looks as though they aren't painted all the way or over the years the brake dust has eaten the paint away revealing touches of the white primer and a rough surface area. You don't notice it unless you are cleaning the wheels, basketweaves, it's a daily job. So now my intrest is peaked and curious to know if the results are "like new". Any tips or suggestions?
