They should last a fair while, my seat post, stem and bar 'sleeve' are all polished and they hardly ever need doing again, and once its done it really is only a quick buff to get it gleaming again. Think Gabes has said before it lasts a fair while.
Use Autosol (or similar) for the final poilsh, it will protect the surface a bit to, so will last that bit longer.
If its a pair of rims won't they be anodised not painted? In which case does Nitromors work, or do you have to use oven cleaner or something, theres a good post with pictures somewhere on how to do it. It recomends beer + sunny day + beer.
