I purchased all of the sandpaper at the local auto parts store. I use 120 grit on a rubber sanding block to smooth out the curb rash. Then use the 120 grit by hand (fingers) to knock down the machining grooves. This process took me about 3 hours per wheel. Then I use 220,400 grits dry. I start using water at 600 and continue through 3000. After 1500 I use Mothers aluminum polish between grits to ensure that I have removed all of the previous grit scratches. If I missed any...I go back over the wheel with the previous grit. Trying to remove a 1200 grit scratch with a 2000 grit paper is damn near impossible. I do it all by hand...no power tools.
I hope this helps
