I got a new set of rims. They are aluminum. Here are some pics if you can see them. I tried working on them a little bit and couldnt get them clean. Think something like a powerball would work? Any suggestions?

 

powerball and some rubbing compound...which is almost the exact same stuff you get in the actual aluminum polish just not as expensive...might want to wetsand them a little bit

 

Negative on the powerball. Yes it works good, but meguiar's new cone is far superior for wheels. Also Busch Supershine Aluminum polish is the best I have used. Just take some 0000 fine steel wool to them (don't press real hard). U have to do small sections at a time and u will have better results. I start in middle, thrnen polish one spoke at a time, then the next lip up and then the next one. The reason I like the new meguiars cone is because the foam doesn't tear and fits into the crevices better

 

x2 on the 0000 steel wool. that sh*t works great

 

I used this stuff on my wheels...

works a lot better than the mother's aluminum polish and powerball... I just did small sections at a time and did it by hand with a shop towel.

 

Yeah I've heard good things out of flitz too. But screw hand application lol

 

Good to know. Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish ain't cheap.

 

Yeah, never dull is good stuff.


Steel wool does wonders.

 

Then don't buy Busch Super Shine aluminum polish lol.

 

Mine looked way worse then those at the beginning of spring. (those actually don't loom all that bad) after steel wool and 6 hours of polishing, they looked like this

 

^^^^ cleanest wheel ever.

Trust Scott!! I used the products he recommended and the meguires cone. Top Notch looks just like his just not right now. I'll have to try the 0000 next spring

 

and the compound works just as well if not a little better

The exact reason I got rid of my M/T Classic IIs--incredible looking wheel on my truck, but I got sick of polishing them all the time. Stick with what Scott tells you--he's got one seriously clean rig and way too much free time!!

A reason why ill never buy aluminum rims again. My old truck had 20" aluminum rims.... Never again!!!!

 

Havent had time to clean them yet but here is a picture I took about a week ago.

 

I use the mothers cone and mothers aluminum polish...works wonders for me
