i started with 100 grit sand paper and worked my way up to 2,000 grit. At that point i used a sisal wheel to help cut it up some more then a spiral sewn wheel to give it that nice finish. Lastely a loose cotton wheel to help get all of that mothers polish into the wheel to give it that finally shine.

ya it was a lot of sanding also. But i was amazed that i got the lip to look the way it does. I thought all of that curb rash was there to stay.
