Wheel Repair - DIY
I recently purchased factory 21"s for my 2011 2SS/RS, but one of the wheels had some scuff marks on it. I created a guide on how to repair the damage yourself. I hope you find it useful!
You can find the full guide here:

Re: Wheel Repair - DIY
Nice one! I had a small curb chunk on one of my wheels and a buddy made it pretty much disappear with a similar method.
Where did you get the sanding kit?
Does this mean you would sort of expand the area you were sanding? Also...was it the Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish that you were using or something else?

With each grit change, I would sand a little extra to try and blend the damaged area with the rest of the wheel.

I got the sanding kit at Auto Zone. Something like $15.
It's called "Mag & Aluminum Polish". You can find it here:
