Default Re: Vintage Wheels Restoration

I just picked up a set of old Appliance Torq Thrust D copies and some American 200S wheels. Both need some clean up/restoration. Any tips that anyone can share on finishes both for the spokes and the rim edge? I prefer to do this myself since most of the restorers I have seen polish the rim edge and this is not the way they were new. Also, the cost of shipping the rims for restoration from the east coast to the west coast and back is pretty costly these days. Thanks for any help.
