You got that right it is a very hard job polishing wheels. I know I do it for a living. Your fingers got kinda sore didn't they from all the sanding. You have fun getting under your finger nails clean. I do parts polishing also. The new Lingenfelter LS6 intake is another fun job.
Glad you are happy with your wheels.
