Something tells me, buddy, that with your abilities, you can create something similar from an old bucket, parts of a washing machine and river sand.
You will have polish at any time + additional income from neighbors.

Blue- Are you not doing the between the spokes ? They are shaping up nice. Will really pop on your Black HHR.

The abrasive and polishing devices left over

This is the forth and last rim to sand and polish

These 3 are the sanded then polished rims

As I mentioned, like a mirror

The one in the back was the first one finished.
