I used mater formula for quite a while - I think it is excellent

Lately I've been using this and I think it's even better, try either one, I don't think you'll be disappointed.

I use the Master Formula also. I bought two bottles of the polish and a bottle of the sealer at the LSX Shootout a couple of years ago. I like it because its water based, therefore its less abrasive, and applies and comes off easier than the mothers. It was kinda expensive, but it goes a long way. Totally worth it IMO.

I've used stuff from kmart called Blue Magic(cheap). I've used Mother's, Meguires, the latest snake oil from the car shows and everything in between. No appreciable difference IMHO. I will admit the liquid types seem to be easier to work with. The powerball does work pretty good as long as your wheels are in good shape to start with.

I used the mother's billet alluminum polish for a while but recently switched to Meguiar's Hot Rims and I must say that the Meguiar's is MUCH better. I used it on my TTII's, that I hadnt polished in about a year, and they came out better than theyve ever looked. Instead of using a powerball or pad, I put some latex gloves on and worked it in with my finger's so I could get in all the corners and holes. You can get it at any AP store... oh and it smells like cinnamon!
