Was wondering what you guys used to polish those pretty aluminum wheels that look like crap after a short time out of the box?? I've got some Mothers polish but man, it's a bitch doing all that hand rubbing???? Anyone found an easier way to do this besides elbow grease?

Use a buffer with the same liquid polish.. Works like a charm just watch it so you don't hit the wheel with the nut holding the wheel on...

Ken, I have used the larger power ball and that works real nice and just requires a little had rubbing afterwords..
I personally don't like the buffing wheel as it leaves swirl marks...

You know that sounds like a job for "Pit Bitch"

Barry do you smear the mothers wheel polish on the wheel then buff it with the power ball or put that stuff on the power ball then polish the wheel?

The wheels are the old style Centerline Convo Pros but they don't look that bad now. I don't think it's going to take very much to get them looking almost new.

Pit Bitch isn't much on the cleaning stuff. I did get him to help with cleaning up the Camaro but he's never been one to wax and polish stuff, not even on his Harley! He loves grease and dirt though?

RE: Power Ball? Man, those things are expensive for what they are? Some foam rubber on a mandrel, which probably costs them about $2 to make? Oh well. It's either that or elbow grease.

I usually just smear some on the ball and use a 3/8 cordless drill and have at it...I use ahaaaaa can't remember "CRS "
for polish..Got the stuff at Walmart ...I will take a look tomorrow...

You may have something there with the foam idea ..What the heck I would give it a try...

Not sure how to bond the foam rubber to the mandrel though?? I got enough to do to get the trailer and car ready for the track next week.
