Compounding chrome rims! Before and after pics

WOW! Now that's impressive. Outstanding job Nick.

I had to look at the title of your thread to make sure I read 'chrome' after seeing the first pic. They looked like alloy wheels at first.

I bet the client was happy.

I think that would depend on the severity of the scratches. Light fine scratches or haze might be able to be worked out with some compound or possibly some metal polish. Every situation is different IMHO

Great work.. Goes to show that you went the extra mile to make them leave an impression on your customer! It confirms your passion and your customers won't forget that. What people forget is:
If they should get a detail from someone else down the road..and they DONT do the little things...they will always want to take it back to YOU!
