I used 120 to fix curb rash 320 to smooth it out 1000 to start the process and 2000 to get where they are. I can almost chrome it w/ sum buffing and polishing compound. Just takes some time. I really should go back w/ the 320 and go a little deeper first though. You can still see sparkly spots reflecting the light weird where the sand blasting went deeper.

yeah i want to sand blast mine and paint them the color of the car but i cant find a place around that will do that for me. I had to use powered hand tool to grind out the curb rash and then go over with sand paper for a while till i get the smooth finish, then polished them with the nevr-dull and after 4 hours hour per wheel it was all done. You did a good job on yours i just wish my car was black so rims would match the car and carbon fiber hood on mine...
