Message	Someone did it within a year or two. IIRC, white Z, black centers on the wheels. I thought it was Booztd but I couldn't find it. Any help is appreciated. Basically I'm looking for help getting some shine back on one section of the rim. I removed a deep gouge, and now it's giving me a tough time bringing back some luster. The two front wheels came out fine, but I'm having a bitch of time with this one rear wheel. This is the before, I don't have a pic of the current state: I've got the gouge out, but now I can't get the shine back. I went down to a 200 grit paper, but have subsequently polished them up with multiple runs up to 2000 grit. Do I have to rough up the whole rim and go 200-320-400 etc etc?
