Dulled a tiny bit over winter with the road salt but came up fine again with a quick hand polish.
Except my rims are black. But looks good
В любом случае будет отличаться от заводской проточки , но уж лучше так .
No clear coat?

Then you wash it and the difference between the polish and Clearcoat becomes obvious

But far less obvious than a big dirty scuff!
Is it worth polishing all 4 rims? 🤔

That's a diamond cut finish, it needs to be milled again and without a proper clearcoat it won't last a winter

I thought I’d try it myself first before committing to recutting the whole face of a brand new wheel and think it’s a perfectly acceptable diy spot repair. The ceramic coating and weekly washing should prevent it from dulling but if it does, a quick hand polish will bring it back to life.

But the brushed finish is off now because it's polished?

Yes but better than a scuff if you don’t want/can’t a afford a full re-cut.
Bro if you need to remove the tire and use a machine.. that's not very diy. Anyhow I'm trying this with my wheel attached using hand power.. Let's see
Music sounds like gran turismo
why’d you blue you’re son in the first part but not while he was in the SUV? or was that a mistake ?
Congratulations and you damaged the deionised surface of the aluminium. Therefore, that part is completely exposed to oxidisation. And how about the diamond cut that the wheel used to have?

It was already damaged, I made it look less so. I protected the wheel with a ceramic coating afterwards to prevent oxidation and no you won’t have the cut finish in that spot but neither will you have a big ugly scuff.
What product did you use for the bando filler?
Sand by hand, really? I see a significant blend line from the polished area, to the machine cut. U need a lil p18/p20 to dust over that...then clear.
I think this wont last very long because the clear coat is missing
Ahora quedo una parte pulida y la otra sin pulir
On deeper spots doesnt work..😂
Nice
