Is there any place in the bay area that will polich my aluminum cobras to look like chrome? Or is there any kit you can buy that comes with the proper sand paper grits and compounds for a die grinder to do it?

For the do-it-yourselfer there's always the Eastwood polishing kits.

I was looking at the eastwood stuff yesterday. My question is what kit would do the job? And how much sanding will need to be done? Thanks

Thanks! What if the wheels need to be sanded before buffing? Where can you get the fine grit sandpaper rolls? Eastwood has them but the finest grit is 320, i'm looking for something like 1500 grit.

You should be able to find sandpaper at any local hardware store.
