rim rebuild and polish
I'm in need of someone to take my bogarts, replace all the bolts for each wheel (25), replace valve stems, and while the wheels are apart, I want to do a good detail job on them, because they need it. Don't mind going to a shop. The wheels are bare aluminum with no clear on them. I have all the parts ordered just waiting on them to get in.
I'd also be open to doing it myself if anyone has any recommendations on how to go about it. Not my area of expertise.
Thanks for any help. Heres a picture I had on my computer of what I'm working with, If you can even tell.

Re: rim rebuild and polish
Taking a wheel apart is something I have no clue about lol
But cleaning and restoring the wheels is easy, get you some good aluminum wheel cleaner..Clean wheels, dry, and use a clay bar on the wheels to get all the oxidation off. Use a wheel buffing kit with compounds and polish the wheels in steps.

Its a real pain in the ass and time consuming, but the results will be worth it

Re: rim rebuild and polish
Bogart won't recommend to use any abrasive polish product on their wheels, instead they recommended a product called Autosol made in Germany. That’s exactly what I used on my Bogart wheels.
