I only used 3 small buffers on the wheel, the trick was using autosolv metal polish. The wheel looks better in the flesh than the photo.

complicated structure for polishing..too much corners..really hard work..

but worth for the difference.. :y

from now on you need to use protector wax from time to

time..will stay long in shiny condition.. only use normal fresh

water for washing to keep protector on them..(sure you already

know)  :y
