PLEASE ! post your EASY way to polish Aluminum wheels.....
I am SOOOOOO SICK <img border="0" alt="[cry]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cry.gif" /> of polishing my damn TTII's that I could puke. <img border="0" alt="[barf]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_barf.gif" /> I have now gotten to the point of not even wanting to drive the car anymore because of it. What are some methods that you guys use to polish your wheels? Im thinking something like a buffing wheel or similar tool to make the process much quicker. Please let me know what tool you use, what kind of polishing wheel, and the process you use. Thanks a bunch!

The easy way is to pay someone else to do it. <img border="0" alt="[jester]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_jest.gif" />
Acutally I use this stuff, Metal Gloss It just wipes on and off.

I usually use one coat or blue magic metal polish, then one coat of mothers billet polish and it's good to go. I usually polish them once a month, but I don't really need to. If you use Maguire's "hot rims" rim cleaner everytime you use wash your car, it keeps them shinny for a long time.

Here's a couple of products you can try.

I just cleaned mine with ARE polish and seal and then went over them with Zaino Z6, and it seems to be working well also.
I haven't tried the two above but have heard good things about both.

You want an easy way to polish you're wheels without rubbing out you're arm? Get Extreem Metal Polish!!!! it works great, it almost looks like pink cotton candy and all you do is break a piece off and gently rub in a circular motion until the surface turns black. Then just wipe off and you're done with that part. It usually takes me around an hour or so to polish all of my FM/5's. If you're wheels get dirty just wash them off and towel dry and you won't have to polish everytime they get dirty. this **** works great I highlt reccomend it.

I usually use this stuff. It works great with very litte effort and I will follow once a week with either Z6 or any other spray detailer to clean brake dust. Once in awhile I might lay some wax on there to prevent any water stains but other than that I can usually go several weeks without having to reapply it.
Souther Shine Polish is the product.
