Thanks, that was my original intention until i discovered Volvo had rough cast them in the first place (hence the heavy coats of high-build primer then flatting originally) and if you look in my second and third pics above, you can see evidence of the rough casting (the mottled effect and various "scratches" across the surface) which didn't lend itself to mirror polishing and neither does the design of the Omega wheels.
No idea what sort of alloys Alan has on his Skoda but i expect we'll see some before and after pics -
hint, hint Alan!
