What exactly was your turning process? Apply compound, assemble, turn wheel by hand and repeat? Mine is pretty rough and I have thought of applying the compound, slipping the wheel on, and using the engine to turn the axle while holding the wheel by hand.

I can foresee some danger in doing that but believe it could be done safely. That would require blocking the other wheels and making sure the car could not move.
