Default Polishing my blades.. need help... does this sound right?

Ok i want to polish my blades, and from research i have the stuff i need i think please let me know if parts of this are wrong...
i have
aircraft stripper
various steel wool pads
from medium down to ultra fine
mothers polish
polish pads..
so i start off and put the stripper on for like 20-30 mins
what should i use to put it on? a paintbrush?
then after 30 min, just hit it with the medium steel wool?
then just keep hitting it with finer wool pads?
then wipe clean
then hit it with the mothers polish and pads?

bling?
sorry for the dumb post but i dont want to miss a step or some **** and have my rims come out looking like *** or some ****..
thanks for the help!

considering how the face is already polished, i would focus my attention on the insides. apply the aircraft remover to the whole wheel to remove the clear coat. use a plastic or aluminum brush to remove the clear coat/gunmetal paint from the insides of the spokes. im not sure how rough the insides are but some sand paper might smoothen it out some. just becareful not to scratch the face b/c its already really smooth. once the insides are somewhat smooth, use the wool pads to smoothen it out even more... get REALLLLLYY smooth! do the face as well but you dont need a rough wool pad for it considering its current finish... basically get smoother and smoother. remove all the scratches, marks etc. use the polish as stated on the back side... if its still not what you expected, try to further smoothen it.

thats basically all i can say. i hope it helped out. if its not clear, IM me here or on aim: n3rdsp0rts

good luck!
