3.polish it with metal compound (then clear)

are these painted from factory or just clear coat over aluminum??

The originals I seen were painted and clear coated. Best way to confirm is to look at online bmw wheel style catalogue.

Your method will be very very time consuming. If you can, have them sandblasted. This will cut a lot of that manual labor out.
