Started polishing the TT2's...
 
Well we have a '69 Camaro Convertible that is currently on the lift waiting for a Moser 12 bolt so I took some time to polish on of the wheels. Talk about work...took me forever just to get one wheel mostly done. Mostly just polished by hand and used Mothers Mag polish. If anyone has any suggestions on a better product or method....feel free to let me know!

I've heard blingmaster is good also.

I used to have some..not sure where it got to though.

blingmaster is awesome, adam's is almost exactly the same and cheaper. I've used both, and the are both 200% better than mother's. If money isn't a factor order some blingmaster, if you like to save some $$ adam's is pretty much exactly the same, both brands have to be ordered off the internet.

I use the mothers billet polish and a microfiber towel and mine turn out great.

I use to use mothers billet all the time, you gotta try blingmaster or adam's, it doesn't even take 1/2 the effort mother's billet does, and the result's are the same or often better with blingmaster or adam's.

I spend 4 hrs polishing my wheels myself for the first time in years. Used Mothers power metal polish with the PowerCone. Used the power cone for the first 15mins and decided its a piece of shit. there are the results.
First two pics are before polishing and the last three are after polishing. I actually made me love my wheels again.

I just remember it being very runny, and not being able to get it off of anything other than a wheel, but it sure as hell worked
