i sanded the whole wheel with 800 grit sand paper, then 1,000. then i repolished them. turns out the only part that really got raw was the blemish spots. so when i polished the wheel, now the wheel has really bright spots, and normal aluminum spots. the bright spots take the place of the blemishes. i think im gonna have to sand the whole thing with lower grit sandpaper, and then repolish the whole wheel.

anyone know what grit sand paper i should use to make the whole wheel raw? thanks
