Default Buffing the wheels w/Mothers ball and polish

Good grief,is this taking forever! The wheels aren't that bad but there is a slight haze over some of it and it's taking forever and a day to polish off. Am I using the cone shaped polisher correctly? Do you have to use a lot of polisha and at what speed for it to work right?

i just did this today, i always used the mag polish and used the mini power ball, not the cone. I always just took my finger and caked a little on each part of the rim (dish, spokes, ect) and then used the power ball all the way around, let dry and then use a rag to whip it off.

I never really had a problem with my chrome wheels. Stupid question, but you aren't doing this in the sun, are you? I really apply it thick, smear it around, then go to town with the power-ball. Then buff the crap outta it with a mf towel.

Yup. Chrome>polished in the cleaning department. I love my chrome stockers.
