I've dremal'ed a rim before, was quite easy. Looks so much better, nearly like new and I didn't even polish it like you did.
If i did polish it, it would have looked a million dollars.

when wet sanding, do you dip the paper in a bucket of water every now and then or put water on the rim?

*Note the visibility of scratches still - like I said, it was a <20min job lol*
Looks good man, did you wet sand or is that straight polish?
have you tried polishing the face of the rims ?
