Polishing Aluminum wheels

Wonder if anyone has experience with this. I am exploring this as an alternative to chrome. I know it's not the same thing and will not look the same but I would be satisfied with some of the results I have seen online. Wheels would be painted to start so would use aircraft stripper and maybe walnut shells to finish depending on what it takes to remove existing painted finish. To protect the somewhat fragile finish I might use a metal protectant like Wolfgang.
