I spent about 30 mins each wheel using a medium cut buffing compound and a MF hand pad. Then followed with a chrome polish quick detail spray to finish it up. Heres the after pics!

Excellent job and thanks for the pics. What compound did u use and was this done by hand or machine? I have a Silverado plus I'm a mobile detailer in northen Virginia. Thanks again.

Amazing turn I love the shine if you did not say they was chrome they looked as if they where painted silver type rims before the polishing process keep it up

I've seen a few new vehicles with these on board, and they have not really impressed me, that they almost border on looking like an aluminum rim, not a chrome plated one.

Nothing like a show chromed wheel.

These truly look outstanding though, and the difference is night and day.
Great work! Mark
