I've got a polished SS radiator cover on the 02 and while cleaning it recently got some scratches in it. What can I use to get rid of them? I've tried chrome polish, mothers mag wheel polish, neverdull. There not gouges more like swirl marks.

Is the mothers mag wheel the same as traditional mothers polish? Small jar with red label? Remember, with mothers you have to rub with a little elbow grease until you get black residue.

yeah if scratched only way to fix it is wet sanding. wheel cleaner/polish is not abraisive enough to cut metal, just clean it.

When using 2000 grit wet/dry do you only go one direction or in circular motion?
