Nice job on the wheels! I just discovered that my left front wheel already has a scratch on it! This would be good to learn to restore the beauty of my wheels soon! My car is only 600 miles old and it was backed into on that very day it hit the 600 mile mark! Yikes! At least $2000 worth of damages. Trying to accept whether the hood and left fender needs to be replaced or repaired (the insurance company is recommending repair). That's when I discovered the front wheel having a scratch.
