i too got hooked on it at a car show i have polished torque thrust II's polished aluminum is just fun to clean we al know this. well i happen to walk up to the wenol booth and they start the pitch he asks for a coin out of my pocket i give him this almost brown quarter. hits it with the red wenol and it comes out like chrome hits with the blue wenol and it looks even more glossy. after that i was hooked been using it for 4 years now. till just recently i switched to griots mag wheel polish but i still dont think it works as well as wenol. highly recomend it.

I've heard nothing but great things about Wenol and I've been wanting to try it. I use Mothers Billet and I have had amazing results with it. I too have used a lot of different products but I always go back to Mothers. I'll place an order soon for some wenol and see how it works out.

I have some of the wheel wax stuff like American Racing sells. I found it somewhere else. I've used it a few times on my other cars but on my polished wheels I thought it made them look a little dull and I really don't think it helped much. I would just save your money and use the same thing that you would use on your paint. I use tropicare on my wheels a lot

I might have to order some of this stuff but it would be so easy to just go to auto zone and buy some of the mothers.

I use Busch polish. Totally destroys Mother's mag and aluminum polish(Busch by hand > Mothers w/ powerball). I haven't tried Busch w/ the Powerball yet, waitin' for a good day to do all my wheels. Polished Z06 wheels SUCK. lol.

Check out some stuff called SPEEDY (around here its at truck stops)

It will give you results even better then the results posted above.
My fuel rails now look chrome. Have an older set of pro stars that did not look that great and look brand new.

A buddy of mines alternator bracket on his LT1 formula now looks polished.

Eh.... I like my "Wicked Products Lighthing Shine " Metal Polish better. That looks good, but this stuff will equal it if not surpass it easily.

On the same site, if ordered seperately, it comes out to 23.85 (savings of 4.10), which covers half the shipping.

Ive never heard of Wenol, but ive always used Blue Magic Metal Polish and it works awesome. Get your hands ready for some scrubbing though.

The results you see in my pics are not the "final" results of the polishing process. I was merely showing what the "red" Wenol will do with very little effort. Polishing is kinda like waxing, it requires a series of steps with different products to achieve the optimal results. The object is to use a product that has superior performance so you can work smarter, not harder. Based on my personal experience over twenty-plus years using many different products, I haven't found anything that performs better than Wenol. Or course, varying degrees of "elbow grease" can obviously compensate for any products lack of effectiveness.

On aluminum wheels I find out of everything out there the Heavy Metal polish in the blue bottle works the best. I sometimes use the blue wenol with it or by itself. I have billet specialties wheels on my show truck and they look like new all the time. Lasts along time too.

I have chrome too though and would like to know what works best on chrome wheels. I have used the wenol blue on my bumpers of my truck.

The "blue" Wenol would work great on your chrome wheels.

Gotcha, I misread your original post. I might have to give that stuff a try then.

I've never heard of that product before. If I had something to try it on besides my DD, I'd definitely give it a shot. Have you ever tried it?
