    •Think of it this way:
    -It’s the same “scratch removal” process, as
    when you’re polishing vehicles’ BC/CC paint.

    most people don't realize that some factory black rims are powder coated. there are numerous articles on powder coating. I am having mine done right now. 525 all 4 includes powder and a clear coat. The choice of colors and finishes are unlimited.

    Do a Test Spot - see what you can do.
