Are they polished already? just dull?
Or are they painted?
If they are painted, you are going to need to either strip the paint, or sand it off.
Then get a JOSCO kit for your drill and polish it.
Use AutoSol or Mothers for the final polish.
Mine took about 6hrs per rim as I needed to sand all the paint off first.

Depends on the rim.
Some are piss easy to do, some take hours.
Mine took about 6hrs each, but I did a set of simmons (just the rings) and it only took about an hour a rim.

I bought a rough and fine buffing wheel kit from the hardware joint, works really well.
