this is for one of the tenant in the building where I work. He wont want to screw with it he would much rather just pay someone to do it. So if you guys know anyone who would be willing to do this let me know

Do these wheels have polish lips on the 3 series or are they painted?

Good one Sean..

I was assuming that the curb mark is pretty extensive..

Note that this [procedure] only covers light scuffs
