As you can see from the attach.pics ,polishing is not as shiny as crome but in my opinion is more natural and the great advantage is if you scratch your wheel,you can easily just sand/smooth down the scratch and get your Orbital sander out!The silver AEZ wheels were very badly treated on the outer edge!Even working just on this area ,the treated wheel looks brand new!Alright ,so I cheated by shinying up the tyre!
