Cover the break disk and other interior break parts since paint may get on them and pose problems. Let it dry after the specified number of curing time and you will get a lively magwheel design overall.

Rubbing compounds make your paint thinner and if after some small application has been done and not yet helped, it is better to bring your car to auto detailing shops for help. Sometimes, deeper scratches need to be addressed to the professional painters.
