0000 steel wool is rated at 2000 grit. You actually backed up. You should have gone directly to buffing once you finished the 3000 grit.

Moral of the story: select a rim with lots of large flat surfaces for demo videos.

Thanks your video rocks. Some dudes at work use metal polish and paint thinner 50/50 with 100% cotton buffing wheel on a Milwaukee cordless. They come out like mirrors. I believe your method is better, the sand paper removes imperfections. A+ job

Straightforward and easy well done. Something worth considering is clear coating the rims afterwards. It makes them a lot easier to clean and maintain. Also if your rims are already clear coated you may have to strip away the clear coat before starting. They sell this stuff at autozone, advance, etc that is an aircraft stripper or something like that. Works great. Takes some elbow grease, but worth the effort if you like shining 🤙

You and DC SuperShine do the best iv'e seen so far but man your processes are different. He uses a 180 grit, 320, 400, 600 and then his polisher is a 6000 rpm grinder and he doesn't put any lubricants or cleaners on the rim, just white diamond metal polish at the end. cool though, i'm learning
