Default Before and after TT2's polishing

Well got a set of used TT2's w/tires and decided to invest in a Power Ball mini, Microfiber towels,Mother Power Metal Aluminum Polish. The pictures dont show it but this had caked on break dust all over the back I think in the top picture you can see it in the before rim. I was able to remove almost all of it with a sponge/sos pad thingy not sure the technical term. OK im about to slam the Power Ball what a joke I tried half the rim with the ball and ended up on a whim just trying hand polishing well my hand polishing looked twice as shinny and took half the time. Well here are the before and afters, bottom rim is one of the others I bought but you get the point.

After:

Nice work, looks great. Some guys use Zoop Seal as a sealer. I put wax on them every other time I wash the car. Helps protect a bit from the elements and keeps you from having to polish them quite so often.
