Oh no. The cleaning and sealing went great! It was wheel I leaned against the garage opening this morning. Went inside to use the facility. Imagine the horror when I came out

to see my wheel wedged underneath the rear tire of my wifes Dodge Journey. She rolls down her window and says "I think I hit something".

Totally my fault. Even flipped her side mirror in while getting the jack out from that side of the garage earlier.

I should have took a picture in hindsight but as you can imagine a photo op was the last thing on my mind.

It's all good with an orange pad and some Wolfgang swirl remover
Pinnacle Finish Polish on a white pad and of course lots of tape.

You would really have to look to see the few deep scratches.
Sorry no pics I just wanted to vent to ppl who would feel my pain.

Ouch, that sucks. I was cleaning my wheels off my car the other day in the garage and had them leaning on the garage door as I worked. After the first wheel I realized someone could come home at any minute and open the door and my wheel could fall flat on it's face. So I pulled the red cord on the garage door unhooking it from the motor so it wouldn't open the door if anyone outside used their opener. Better safe than sorry I figured.

Look at the brighter side. At least nobody was hurt.

Amen brother. That's how I do need to look at it. Thanks for setting me right

Live and learn, but certainly nothing fun to have to deal with
