AirCraft stipper to remove the sealer. Mothers aluminum polish. Elbow grease. Or you can use a buff ball with a drill. Works good.

Do you have the spider pitting on your rims? The stripper is hard work. I ended up having my professionally redone (and i am not the type to pay somebody to do the work I should be doing).
