can still see some scratches in there mate, remember take your time with each grade make sure all the scratches from previous grade are gone before moving on
run the hose gently over the wheel when using the finer grade wet and drys, you will get a much better finish with less effort and the paper wont clog up
use a polish like brasso when youve finished up with wet and dry. follow the instructions on the back it will come up like a mirror.
