Has anyone re-polished their wheels before??

Also there is clear coat on the rims so can I do that myself or is it best to have a shop Re-do the work?

What is the best polish to use?

Is there a write-up of what to use?

TT2's are not clearcoated. They are bare metal so your supposed to polish them to keep them shining. Are you talking about the wheels on the car in your sig? If so are you wanting to just polish the lip or did you want to strip off the black on the spokes?

ya- they shouldnt be clear coated... Mothers polishing paste, and the power ball.. they work well..

yup need to re-polish them(just the lip)... On one of the rims it looks like some is chipping off by the tip of the lip. That's why I assumed they were clear coated.

Can I get this powerball at any store?

Did you get them painted or powdercoated? If a previous owner did the wheels I'd ask him if the lips were clearcoated. IMO you don't need a powerball for just the lip part, thats the easiest part to polish up! Just get some aluminum polish and go to work rubbing it on the metal till it turns black then rub off the excess.

the wheels are powdercoated.. I'm just talking about the lip. I'll just do it by hand. No problem with that!

Still wondering why one wheel is chipping by the tip of the lip if they are not clear coated?

No need for any drill or powerball or anything for just the lips. You can get them shining nice with some polish, terrytowels and microfiber

Just bought the Mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish with some micro-fiber pads. Is that some good polish?

Another vote for the Mother's, it has worked well for me too. I do want to try some other brands though.

Mothers billet polish. Its about $15.00 a can but its worth it.

I have not tried the Mother's Billet Aluminum polish yet but I have only heard good things! What I did try was the Mag & Aluminum polish and it was a disappointment. I only use Wenol or Master Formula now.

I always used Mothers Billet polish on my wheels. Ever since they were powder coated it takes just a few minutes to polish the lips

I just got done repolishing mine after a winter season full of salt on the road. Mothers Powerball sucks ***, just use good ole fashion elbow grease. I sanded mine using 400 grit than 1000 grit than 2000 grit. After that I used Mothers aluminum paste polish and than after that I used Master Formula Metal Gloss than Master Formula Sealer Gloss. I'll post pics of the before and after and post them when I get home. They turned out real nice and cant wait to mount them on again.
