Default Best polish for polished?

I am trying to polish my polished TT2s and was wondering what was the best kind to use. Looking to bring them back to the best they can be.

Mother's Billet is pretty good. If they need more attention, you may start with Mother's Mag & Aluminum.

I've also heard lots of great recommendations for Simichrome.

A polishing ball will also be very helpful.

Mothers Billet Polish is by far the best. I use it on my TT's and they look great.

Mother's Billet polish is about the best off the shelf stuff you can get. I was polishing my dad's mufflers with neverdul, they looked great, then I used Mothers Polish, seemeed to look a lil better I guess, but the Mothers billet made it reflect perfectly like a mirror. Huge diffrence.

Griot's metal polish is what I use with my pneumatic polisher and with my power ball .. once I have them shiney, I seal them with Metal Armor final polish and sealant

I've used several different polishes but I think Mothers Billet polish worked the best.

Wenol works really good. Ive never tried the Mothers billet polish. I may have to give it a shot.

For those using MOTHERS BILLET POLISH, are ya'll sealing it with anything afterwards? Does it even require a sealant?
How do ya'll go about polishing your items (TT2's)...what do ya'll use to apply the polish with? How long in one area? etc.

If you want you can use a wax or paint polish to protect the wheels. I use some polish from time to time but most of the time I don't bother. To apply the polish I use a good quality microfiber applicator or the past few times I started using a foam applicator. Both work well but I think I'm starting to like the foam applicator more. It seems to spread the polish better and makes it easier to buff the polish off. I like to use microfiber because it doesn't scratch the wheels like a cotton towel will. I spend about 5 mintues per wheel but I keep up with them very well. When I've let the wheels go for a while I polish a wheel till I'm happy with the shine. Work in small sections, it seems to help me get better results. Work an area for a min. buff and move on to the next section.
