Default Where can I get my wheels polished in CA?

I have some rota flat black, but I have removed the clear coat and black coating. I tried steel wool, but it still kind of look dull, not looking like mirror. Theregore, I wonder do anyone know is there a shop in Oakland, CA charge polishing wheel for cheap. Private or Shop. Please let me know... or let me know how to DIY to mirror polished. thanks

wet sand it with 1000grit then 1500grit.. maybe even go to 2000grit and then use mothers mag polish.. u gotta spend some time doing it.. my homie did it and his wheels came out really good.. he spent some really good time polishing it by hand

Thanks.. I wonder how long it took them to get all four done. Since I have the tires on there, will that be fine? because that is the only set I have temporily.
