The mothers billet worked better for me than the other mothers wheel polish they sell.

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 got a bottle of Mother's Aluminum Polish and it works great for removing brake dust that's been on the wheel for a bit.

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!

I like Autosol, then use Mother Billet to finish it off, but Autosol does the bulk of the work.
