well i didn't take a picture of the affected area, but it's been so nice all week i've been working on some little projects to finish up details on my car. i purchased a set of porsche center caps over the winter and needed to polish them.
they started out like:

an older picture when i partially polished the first one compared to how it started:

i'd still like to clean them up a little bit, but they look pretty damn good right now if i do say so myself. definite thanks to nautishine's how-to with the polishing kit. i had no idea how to use it before that. although, i have yet to use the brown compound. i sand, then use black, then rogue, and i finish it up by hand with polish and a MF towel.
