Default SS trim repair near the end

For those who were following the SS trim repair post, I am in the final stage and thought I would share some pictures. A couple of before and afters of the two biggest dents/creases. There were several small dings and a couple of pin gouges that I got out as well.

That looks great! Do you have any idea of how many hours you have into it?

Thank you, I still got a little more touch up sanding and re-buff to do to it!!! The one dent was quite a challenge, I took the initial picture of it after I had worked on it some but it was almost complete creased all way across the trim flat!! I have to admit, its NOT 100% but I will argue its 90-95%. I learned a couple of new techniques on this one which will always help in the future. Still refining my skills with each piece I do!!!
