aye it is i done my rocker cover on my xe and it takes ages so i can see why it would be £60 a wheel. all you need is some nitro morse, wet & dry from 400-2000 grit machine polisher and ALU metal polish

i'd deffo pay someone to do it, the big areas are ok, but i've seen lots of polished rims where the little nooks & crannys never get done properly.
people usually paint the crap bits black

This guy's work is pretty amazing. Won't be cheap, but if you want it doing properly then its a price you pay.
