wheel polishing
What should I expect to pay for Aluminum wheel polishing?
Thinking a Truck Stop would be my best bet.
Do they have to remove the wheels or polish in place?
I remember seeing a cool machine that went in to the recessed duals right on the (Semi Tractor) rear wheels. Same as our 22.5s right?

I didn't know anyone offered wheel polishing but that would be great. I used to have non-sealed aluminum wheels & it was a lot of work polishing them. I used a sponge ball operated by my cordless drill. It worked ok but to get the best outcome you need to remove the lug nut covers as well as the center cover.

Call Dazzling Detailing 407-948-9284 in Sanford Florida for a price. I have them do my coach each year wash, wax, and wheel polish $425. The wheels shine like chrome.

Depends on where you happen to be but many of the 'older' truck stops, off site will have a truck wash and wheel polish person. Here in Casa Grande, Az there are a few polishing shops along I-10 and they get about $30 to $40 each wheel to polish. And they shine when they are done. I use the ball on a battery powered drill to polish my wheels using Flitz. It takes me about 1/2 hour per wheel to get them to sparkle.

I'm with you 180 to 240 bucks for six!
The DW needs to increase my beverage fund 
California Purple Polish use their surface prep solution with cloth dry apply polish battery drill with ball and conical then wipe off
Not too shabby

I paid $50 per wheel for a guy to come do it at my place. He drove about 60 miles round trip. He did the chrome tailpipe and stainless on the full width mudflap for free and I tipped him $20.

If you are near Eloy,az there is an outfit across the stret from the Pilot. At one time it was $5.00 a wheel. Then it went to $10.00
I do not know today s price but I am sure it is not over $20
.00
