Time to rub the shit of the rim blending the dent into the rim and getting into the groves of damage

(excuse the blur my hand was exhausted)

Thanks tomgeer.

 

Yep no probs walker.

 

I used a very course sand paper with a cork block to blend the dent and rub down the gashes.

Then used 240 grit dry.

Then 320 wet grit.

Then 800 wet grit.

Then 1200 wet grit.

Then 1500 wet grit.

Then 1500 with meguires metal polish.

Then meguirs metal polish.

 

All with lots of elbow grease.
