Hand polishing always looks great. A lot of people here use a product called plastidip. If you never heard of it, it comes in a can like spray paint but it's actually plastic not paint. It sticks very good and you just peel it off when you want to remove it. Check YouTube for videos.

I have a problem with the paint of the rims, it is damaged everywhere and I was thinking to remove the paint and polish the aluminium. I have tried with one rim, with paint remover, but it was hard to remove
only the removal of paint it needs a full day for 1 rim, crazy
maybe I will surrender and bring it to a paint shop and repaint them with the same color as before, or darker

if you decide to surrender, think about powder coating. as long as they arent chrome rims or have "pitting." powder coating looks GREAT!

if you really want to get crazy watch this video (tell me that carbon fiber doesnt look beautiful:
