I wish; that would be nice. Other groups within the company practically have their whole team working from all over the US but not IT/Dev.

Well, good news, bad news. Good news is, I buffed out the scuffs. Bad news is, since these are Hypercoated, there is a black border around the repaired area. Ohs well.

Did you use the Bullitt Archive method or just wheel polish?

The reason you have to use cear coat on the bullitt wheels is they're painted and clear coated and sanding on them takes the clear off.

Bullitt Archive method. It would have worked AWESOME if the wheels were not Hypercoated. :wallbash:
