    Compounding chrome rims! Before and after pics

    Had a silverado in today with some salt covered oxidized rims. Figured id share feel free to comment!

    Before:





    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!







    Thanks for looking!
