The first one does show repair and polish of the lip while the second one is polishing using a drill and a power ball / Flitz ball lip repair polish both methods look good.

I'd advise you to use a dremel to polish so you could half the time and get way better results! AFTER getting rid of the big cuts in the rim SLOWLY using a file...I'd use steel wool after 320 grit paper with water first then polish with the steel wool THEN use a dremel which has felt and cotton bits which will give a better polish. Ps. I'm a jeweller...
