What exactly did you polish? Heres what I did to mine and heres with my newer technique of milling the angles flat and polishing them The part that I circled is where I cut too deep with my ball nose endmill.I then i tried to smooth it out but made it worse Oh well I 'm glad this is just my test rim.

I didn't see a difference at first. Look at the top pic, it's hard to tell in the bottom too. The outer lines that go around the spokes. Looks to be all of it.

did you polish the entire wheel, or just the top spokes of it?
