Took the forum advice and went to flash truck wheel polishing in Eloy,Az. $30 for all 4wheels.
I'm A happy owner. Had to wait 30 minutes maybe, as semi tractor ahead of me. But wonderful shine.

X2 on Flash  ^.^d

We had our coach done there about a year ago.  They did 4 wheels and the mirrors for $40.  Took about 40 minutes.  Our wheels were in pretty poor condition, but after they worked on them they sure looked good to me.  I will use them again next time we pass by.

DW just reminded me of something.  Before the guys started working on our coach, I walked around with them and told them what I wanted done.  We both noticed one of my front wheel hub caps was gone.  I hadn't realized it was missing.  When they got done working, I paid them and then asked if they knew any place close by where I might find a used hub cap.  One of them went inside the little shed, rummaged around for a few minutes, and came out with a hub cap.  Perfect fit!  Not new, but as good as the rest of mine.  I said "How much?" and he said "No charge".  Just asked if we would tell our RV friends about their service, and that is what I have done at every opportunity since then.

You can either call for a appointment, or just show up.  One block north of I-10 at exit #203 (across the street from Super 8 motel).

Holy smokes! Did you happen to notice what they were using for polish? I spent several days with mothers and some really good purple stuff and mine don't look that good. High 5 to you for that price!

When they did mine, the buffer guy had a little bucket with a bunch of different sticks in it.  As he worked he ran the buffer against one of the sticks, and then hit the wheel.  Different grades of compound, I guess.

Yep polishing rouge comes in bar form or liquid. Had mine
done by Luna's polishing,also in Eloy. Just a couple of guys with a truck and a generator.
$40 for all 4 wheels and mirrors. They did a good job, so of course I tipped them well. Took about 30 min.
Great score on the wheel cover. I lost both top hats on my rears, my fault I didn't realize how they attached and stole the cap nuts for the fronts. I guess I should have asked in Eloy. :D

Are you two in the north country now?
I did my own polishing as no one in the Walla Walla area does that sort of thing. It was a pain in the buttocks for sure. Took 2.5 days, And my back & tennis elbow suffered mightily.
