I've got to polish the Boyds on my truck. I have Mother's aluminum polish, but not sure if it is the best. The wheels are not clearcoated.

I was using some jewlers polish that i got at a truck shop, it made my wheels really bling bling, but I use Mother's now it keeps them looking good longer. I also put a coat of Liquid Glass on after wards to kinda protect the wheels but I'm not sure how much it helped... I have boyds too

If you can find Extreme wheel cleaner try it. That stuff works really well, but unfortunately I cannot find it in Baton Rouge anymore.
Also I have had good results with Eagle One Billet Aluminum Polish. This stuff outshines everything else I've been able to find.
I dont have any Extreme to do a side by side test though <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />
These rims are over a year old in this picture and I just used the Eagle One on them. http://community.webshots.com/photo/...61278291zWUlLK

I have used eagle one and Mothers. By far the best that I have used so far is Never-Dull. I picked mine up at the local K-mart store.

I have Mothers and Eagle Never Dull and they both work about the same, it all depends on how much time you are willing to spend on them. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Mothers won't get spots off, I worked up a sweat trying to remove the spots off my welds...looks like I might be buying new ones soon, and having them clearcoated... <img border="0" alt="[bang head]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_banghead.gif" />

I use this stuff and it is amazing. I have every other bottle of metal polish alying around in my garage including the boyd polish and they cant come close to this polish. I used this on my brake line, canister, fuel lines, and egr. It takes very little effort but the more you press the faster it works. If you have polished aluminum rims, you have to try it, its worth it!

I've tried almost all of the aluminum/metal polishes i could find on my american racing torque thrust II's. the best luck ive had is with the Brand Wenol, the make three different types, ive used the blue tube.. ive tried eagle one, mothers, never dull, and bunch of others,
check yahoo on where to purchase the polish the is a few places online that offer it. Its only like 12 bucks...

My uncle has an 18 wheeler, and those are some huge aluminum wheels. When he starts, they look like just flat aluminum, when he's done, they are more bling than my chrome ones. Oh, and the effort? Just as easy if not easier than putting on Zaino... his product of choice?
