Seeking: The mother of all wheel polishes?
I've got some TT2's that have sat out side 24/7 for the last 2 years and have not been touched a single time..
I need something good to help me polish them with some elbow grease..
Any recommendations?

damn, I'd just sale em at this point LOL. I had the same problem with my old TT2s, previous owner neglected em for over a year. Meguires Rim Polish and the Power Ball (Cone) did Great. Altho not good enough to make me keep em..... I now use a local lady that makes her own and it is the Most Amazing polish I've Ever Used!!! but that doesnt help you any. Most on here seem to love Adam's metal polish or Blingmaster

If too neglected use sandpaper first, go 1000, then 1500 followed by 2000. Then rim polish of your choice with a buffer. Finish with hand polishing. Recently I used the Meguiars Rim Polish and loved it. Smells great too!!! I used this method to polish the lip of my HP rims. Came out great.

LOL.. They're not anywhere near that bad. I just worked on one today and got it just like new.. I was just using the liquid stuff and figured there'd be a paste/clay rub that I could use that might work better..
You have any info on your local polish dealer? LOL

I bought a set of TT2 off craigslist for 130 bucks with ok tires. I used OOOO steel wool and a water bottle to spray on the chrome. they look 100x better. try that before sandpaper it takes off rust and polishes at the same time.....

I've used both blingmaster and adam's. They both work about the same, I'd say blingmaster may be slightly better, but not enough to worry about for the price difference compared to adam's.
Don't be scared if you have to break out the sand paper, as long as you work down to 2000 grit, all the sandpaper scratches polish completely out, and the rims will look brand new.
