Default Anybody tried Flitz?

I figured this stuff doesn't work too well, or at least not better than any other products, but I was thinking about getting it just for the buff ball they have. I am not very experienced in buffing and polishing and am looking for a good way to polish my wheels (TTII's) so I thought I might get the Flitz stuff just for the ball, since there are no edges to burn into the wheels since all I have is a drill to use, no buffers or polishers. Any opinions or suggestions???

I have actually heard that Flitz is a very nice polish. Give it a shot with the buffing ball and let us know how things come out.

I used some with the drill operated buffing ball on a set of old draglite wheels and that stuff worked very nice. Its a green liquid, similar to some of the other green liquid polishes out there.

I used it on my wheels when I first got the car to get rid of all the spots in the aluminum, but now I've been using Concept One Pulley Systems Aluminum Polish.

I have a friend with a part-time detailing business that swears by it.

We carry the 2lb can of Flitz for like $25. I decide to test it out tonight and took a "sample" home. I used it on my newly machined polished rims. I applied it by hand and removed by hand and I didn't notice a change over the Mother's Billet polish. I'll have to try it with a buffing whel next.
