Punto SX 75 Alloy wheel botch fix

Hi, i dont know wether theres any ppoint in showing you this but i was proud of it and thats wot this forums for i suppose, sharing stuf so i'll show you n e way ( even though you proabably cant tell the differnece from my pics of what i have done!) I bought my punto a few weeks back (im still 16 so i cant drive it yet) and im busy making it look very tidy, upon closer inspection of my alloys, i realsied sum t*t had resprayed them and had managed to make an amazingly bad job, so i set about taking the paint off like so:
Before painting


then i removed the wheel and started polishing with comma top cut:


after finding this was neva gona work i thought id try some cellulose thinners, cnt remember wether it was synthetic (duh of course):


This worked way better and when used with the polish after taking a thin layer off, i started getting results like this:


^^^Hope you can see!^^^^) Finaly i got one alloy completely done and i have compared it with the other one in the last pic, hope you can tell the difference bcoz its amazing in real life:



Pointless or not?
