shoulda went with 25mm to make it sit out like an inch or two so it would look gangsta.

so, you sure 3mm will clear the brakes?

Kevin. Sorry to see this. Happens to the best of us. Lessons learned.

Try some P21S Finish Restorer... I've had pretty good results with it and it may help in your case. Will it restore it to perfect? Likely not, but I think it will help. You'll need to do it a few times and it will take some time. Give it a shot.

Now... For all you guys that wonder why automated car washes are bad for your car and don't seem to understand why... I rest my case. Soap and Water ONLY.

Theres some stuff I used to use on my trucks polished wheels, it looks like soft steel wool and has a polishing compound in the wool. The package is a polished alumin tin, i want to say eagle one maybe. But you can find it at pepboys.You just use it in pieces and it's very lightly abrasive, so it should take that off, with the residue it leaves you can use a microfiber cloth and polish it back to mirror like finish.

Similar to this, they may have just changed packaging.
