Ive heard it works wonders on wheels, but I doubt itll help you with your rotors. The second you step on your brakes while driving all your work goes out the window

Yeah I used it on my friends wheels. They looked really bad before but now they look brand new. I should of taken before and after pictures, because it made a big difference.

I used one today to polish up my original wheels I had in storage. We stripped down the clear coat paint, then polished with the power ball and a good power drill!

I liked using alot. I didnt care for the results with the Mother's billet polish though, I got better results using Eagle One Nano polish. IT saved a ton of time from having to polish the flat sides of the spokes but for the intricate corners, still gotta take your time. Overall, it saved me several hours though.

I used mine on the aluminum wheels on the truck. My buddy I got them from had them in storage and they oxidized pretty bad. It worked pretty good on most areas, but I need a more powerful drill. My cordless one just doesn't have the power that I need.
