I have 8.5" & 7.5" 17" split rim Schnitzer racing alloys, and no kerbing at all, but could do with a polish. Is a alloy or metal polish appropriate ? And, there are 40-50 little nuts per wheel, to get good finish I will need to remove them. Can I just unbolt a few at a time, clean-up, replace, etc ?
Thanks.

These are a pain in the arse mate. They need to be torque'd up exactly right. Its possible but it takes bloody ages!
