does anyone have any experience on polishing alloys wheels upto a mirror finish

The actual alloy metal itself or the clear coat?

Yes i have experience of it, & then Lacquering or Clear Powder Coating & protecting them.

and there are threads if you search of Briskoda members doing it.

 

If it is OEM Skoda Wheels from a Fabia i would not bother and maybe do it to better quality wheels.

can you give me some help on how i would do it 

To what kind of wheels,

and what equipment do you have, 

or are you thinking of manually sanding, scouring pads, steel wooling, using polishing wheels & compounds, and lots of work.?

gigaros and not too sure 

You need to get the coating off the faces and the paint off, before you start.

I do not Strip Gigaro before painting them, i just prepare them well, then recoat with colour.

 

I really think you are looking at the totally wrong wheels.

I have some like new ones stored, and some with white spider under the lacquer.

They are pretty soft alloy and easily damaged around the rims.

Take them to your nearest alloy wheel refurbishers and have them diamond turn the face? I imagine approx £60 per wheel (in my area anyway). Although, many gigaro alloys are already in this finish from factory.

And they are rubbish, those are the Dark Chrome Gigaro.

 

Better just buy the nice Polished Alloys readily available, often used ones are cheap enough.

Example of New Dark Chrome Gigaro Wheel, 

and a 12 month old one with White Spider Corrosion under the lacquer.
