I’ve been under quarantine for a few weeks, which has gotten me to start polishing my wheels-something I’ve intended to do for a long time. Started with 400 grit sandpaper and got all the way to 5000, then finished up with Mother’s mag and aluminum polish. It came out pretty well I think.

I’ll probably leave as is. I expect them to be relatively easy to maintain.
