polished factory wheels?

hey, i have a 91 rs with factory wheels. i was told that i could polish the wheels myself. all i should have to do is sand all the paint off with some real fine sand paper, so there will be no scratches, and then put some aluminum polish on them. ive got and old junk car with aluminum wheels that i tested it out on, and it actually looked really good. let me know if any of you have tried this and what you think about it. i think it will look really good and its alot cheaper than buying new ones.
Thanks

Try a search and you'll find several hundred thousand different methods of polishing wheels.

Here is the method I like best.

Buffing vs. Polishing
