Very nice job of polishing, did you use rouge?
That truck looks hot - its nice to see projects further along in progress or near done! Might give some of us more motivation to get butt in gear.

Thanks prep, just remember im not cheap either lol. Cheaper than Kelvin's but not cheap. i price wheels as price per wheel but pretty much anything else is all $50/hr cash (flexible depending on how intricate the piece is).

when i had my 5.0 i custom polished the rims and i had 38 hours into the first one and bythe 4th i winnowed it down to 19 but sometimes its a lot of work. Very dirty work too

38 hours into one rim? Your kidding right? You must have way more patience then I could even dream of.
Last time I polished my rims I used mothers, and I spent 3ish hours per rim and I was getting tired of that.
