You'll get all kinds of personal preferences, but I prefer Wenol. It's a German-made polish. It comes in two grades-orange (harsher) and blue (lighter). I use the blue tube for regular maintenance on my 'bird wheels, and the orange comes in handy on my truck wheels and bumpers after a Winter's worth of road salt.

The best hands down that have made my CCW's shine, was Mothers mag and aluminum cleaner and a Mothers ball.
I had a little haze that came over my wheels, didnt know what the hell happen just used tint safe glass cleaner. Then I got the Mothers and Im not kidding one hell of a shine. No haze!

The best cleaner I used for my rims was a product called metal gloss. You can find it at www.metalgloss.com. Stuff is amazing. I used almost every cleaner product out there on the market and by yet this stuff is far the best. It's very easy to put on and take off. The green bottle is the cleaner and the red bottle is a protective sealer. Trust me - anyone who ever used this stuff will even tell you it's amazing. You have to try this stuff - Mike

I've used that, infact I have two bottles sitting in the garage right now. I thought it was like using water. I didn't like it.

I've also used Magic Mix and I liked the way it works. When I use a buffing wheel with it the results are great.

definitely Mothers with a powerball!! Cuts the time down to about 5 minutes per wheel! Mothers all the way. Just the original Mother Mag and Aluminum or the Billet polish, both are awesome! Keep them Smoothies lookin sharp playa!!
