Polishing Wheels

Any recommendation for polishing wheels??

Easy to use, effective, and etc.

Getting around the wheel lugs and into the holes looks to be a daunting task so it would be interesting to see what others are using.

Thanks for any input.
  • There is no one, easy answer. If your wheels are uncoated then an aluminum polish such as Mother's will work fine. It's messy but your wheels (and thank you for not calling them RIMS) will turn out beautiful. After polishing, a good coat of wax will keep 'em looking good.
    If your wheels are clear coated, then you can clean them just like you would auto paint. No special product is required.
  • There is a foam attachment that fits on an electric drill that I use. That and some Mothers polish does a good job for me. All can be gotten at an auto parts store like Auto Zone.
