I had very good luck with Flitz metal polish and a set cordless drill rotary polishing attachments. I have a set of the early Campy clones made by Boyd Coddington and sold by Pantera East and was able to bring out the mirror in them before they went back on to 6328. There were a few deeper scratches but the wheels would have taken a professional resurfacing to eliminate them.

Years ago (2013 maybe, haven’t found the invoice) I had Don Byars (RIP) install new A-Arms,
shocks, springs and traded my old rims for some new 17” with new rubber. $$ but WOW did
that make my Pantera ride like new.
But it’s been sitting too long in storage and now I need to polish the rims again. Along with 100
other things to do.
I believe the rims were the Campagnolo style Billet Aluminum wheels? Correct me if I’m wrong.
What is the best polish to use to bring them back to life!
