Polished my 437m wheels!

So my wheels are in storage for the winter and I decided to polish them. I was honestly thinking about clear coating them or having them refinished, BUT not anymore! Flitz really restored the shine on the paint. The swirls are almost gone and they look good. Note some swirls may need another round of buffing.

Equipment:
Drill
Locking 6inch bit extension
Polishing wheels for a drill
Flitz metal polish
Min. 1 afternoon

Halfway through, but so far looking good!
Ceramic coating to come!

(Hopefully pictures show up)

Wowsers! Now that's what I'm talking about. That product is really promising.

Only thing is, I didn't want to wait for shipping and Flitz was readily available. Plus I would have to change my username....lol. Thanks for the advice.
