How do you repair damaged clearcoat on gsr wheels? Wheel repair shops in northern california charge $129 - $180 to refinish a wheel.

Here are pics of damaged clearcoat on gsr wheels (note: these are not my wheels):

Do I need a high speed buffer or dremel? Are there buffing attachments for a corded drill?
Should I use Mother's Mag polish or do I need to wet sand?
What is a good clearcoat spray paint to buy?

 

That is beyond the clear coat bro. Stay away from them. That looks like some serious curb rash. I am willing to bet that under the cancer there is some significant gouges.

 

Not really, it is just advanced deterioration of the clearcoat. Mine are starting to do the same thing. The best long term option to renew them is to wet sand them to a shiny finish, clearcoat them, and buff them to a mirror shine.

 

Well then, that advanced deterioration is deceiving. Because the rims look like they have serious issues.

 

Will buffing with Mother's Mag Billet Metal Polish or Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish work instead of sanding with sand paper?

 

Buffing with polish won't have the same effect as wet sanding. You can however use that after you wet sand.
