I plan on traveling to New York City this month and I'm looking for an affordable safe and under $1000 a month place to stay while I'm there this winterI would like to be close to the cityI hate elevators so anything where I don't have to go in them is idealAny suggestions?
If they are cast with a rough finish, take them somewhere that does walnut shell blasting and have them blastedSand blasting and bead blasting will take off too much metalIf they are smooth, use 400 grit wet-or-dry with water, then 600, then get a jar of Mother's Mag Polish (or equivalent) and polish with a soft cloth until it has the luster you wantIf you want it to look brushed, rub it with a scotchbrite pad, always keeping the same direction on your strokes.
What kind of finish do they have? Brushed? High reflection? I think that if they are brushed, you may be able to use a steel woolI'd get a second opinion on that (I'm no expert and my rims knowledge is probably outdated).
take them to polishing place they will do this for free and more accurate unless you have a sand blaster
Try one of the suburbs of NYCIn a lot of areas, you have houses that (sometimes legally, sometimes illegally, so check) are divided into apartments, or have an apartment built-in to rent outThat way, you can just walk in, instead of going up an elevatorThere are houses like this in parts of Staten Island (I know because I live there), as well as parts of Queens and Long Island (and I'm assuming Northern NJ Westchester as well) I hope this information was very helpful.
