There doesn't appear to be much difference because the wheels were not in terrible shape. Nevertheless, this particular wheel was in the worst condition of the four. I put touch-up paint on the curb rash and when it dried followed with Adam's Quick Sealant.

Thanks! I actually used VW touch up paint (reflex silver) bc it was the closest match from the local auto parts store. It actually did a decent job

I wish my before was dirtier

I just did the same thing but didnt step up to the severe. I was not able to remove the swirl marks however, but did make an improvement in shine and clarity. Were you able to remove them?

Thankfully I was. If you look at the before picture at the 4 or 5 o'clock position you can see a long scratch on the face of the spoke. While the scratch is still there it is no longer fully visible.
