Use 180 sandpaper to get all the scratches and stuff out, fill any imperfections, then 500 it all.

High build prime them./Filler primer..

Wetsand them with 6-800

paint them lacquer them.. you know the rest..

i flatten and polish mine..

Easy to do your self. Remember alloys are soft so alot of marks and kerbing will sand out. Only the really deep stuff needs filling.
