Default Still not happy with BS Streetlites and cleaning them up

I used Mother's and a Speedball plus my hand on these. They still look dull and stained. I am leaning towards using the Bling on these to see. Anyone else get this or got something that took it back to new again? It's like you get them wet one time you are fucked!

Buy this one time and you will throw the rest of the polishes you have in the trash can.

i just got my street lites, found this stuff called Metal Gloss. I ordered the Metal Gloss Sealer and put it on mine. I let you know if it's any good. Suppose to keep em from oxidizing and keep water spots out.. We'll see. hear the Polish is good too. they have a website, but found it cheaper on ebay.

You need to clean your wheels cold with simple green and distilled water 50/50 mix then rinse and after that you need to use mibro polish from lowes with a mibro firm polishing wheel then apply a good coat of automotive paint wax. Should last awhile before you have to do it again. This is what i did with my Fikse worked great!

Using the correct metal polish would help.

Mothers BILLET Polish.

They will look much better afterwards.
