    Amazing results on the Chevy rims

    Also amazed that a Dealer paid you to spend 2 to 3 hours on it

    Great job

    Damn very nice! I'd be to afraid to use compound on chrome because I'd think it would scratch the heck out of them. In your case though you didn't have much to lose because of the shape they were in. Great job bro they turned out great.

    I thought for sure they were aluminum. You did a great job on those.

    And by hand? Double kudos.
