yeah it's nice stuff.....I sanded the casting marks off the rims prior to the polishing clays & wheels mind you. With a new polishing wheel these babies actually mirror up really nice

, there's still some minor scratches that can be seen up close once polished. I sanded them again prior to polishing them & a lot less scratches after polish this time. I'll let them oxidize again next winter & I figure next springs sanding should get rid if the rest of them. By then I'll be ready for some new tires & will clearcoat/bake when I have 'em off next time. After that, no more polishing...just soap & water

5 stars make all the difference on the 1st gen. I love the look but man are those things hard to keep up on! Props to the elbow grease in polishing those rims.
