A few random deep scratches around but those were not tackled. The aim was to remove swirls, to restore colour and gloss.Starting from the wheels. The chrome was masked by the dirt. Front wheels have plenty of brake dust.<img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-DMtMOs1eiBE/UVsYdkWWrDI/AAAAAAAABz8/gOFzuUrtfaA/s640/DSC03055.JPG" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />A 50/50 shot before and after.
