Yeah, and I'm sorry, I had it wrong. Looking at the wheel it's very hard to tell because it's definitely not straight machine-face, but cloudy looking.

I found the quote that confused me.

I've been fortunate enough to find somebody who knows what they're doing.The whole process took a couple of hours and the finish is flawless.
