There are a lot of threads on here on this. I don't know about the getting rusty part though. But I doubt it will do that once you polish it good.

i recommend jus finding someone to trade for the polished mags because your gonna end up doing a lot of work to polish the ones you have now when it would be easier to find someone to do a staright trade just my 2 cents

The more you polish it to a mirror shine, the less time it takes before they oxidize. To polish them like how lets say work does it for example, you will need a air tools with a high rpm tool to bring it mirror. If you want to learn to polish then use those wheels. You just want polish wheels, do what everyone else said. TRADE.
