any wheel polishing gurus in the eastern section? looking for a formula or process to make my full polished fikse fm5's look like they did from the factory. right now my best combo is noxon 7 and then mothers billet, both applied by hand. i have the mothers power cone but it isnt good for a perfect finish. any suggestions? thanks guys..
I had good results using Mother's Powerball and was thinking of buying the PowerCone at Carlisle. Maybe you need a more abrasive metal polish. I've never heard of noxon 7.

The wheels look excellent on the car, like mirrors. But up close you can see the polishing marks...maybe something I will just have to live with. Def. not more abrasive, would have to be more fine to take more swirl marks out. Noxon 7 is top notch stuff and I highly reccommend it
I'm not sure if it will work but I know 0000 grade steel wool is fine enough to clean glass and not scratch.
I am going to try 0000 steel wool and a heavy duty cleaner then a fine finishing polish on a set of wheels whenever I come across them. I want to learn how to finish wheels in rough shape.

If it's just a product recommendation you're looking for, I like to use Speedy Metal Polish http://www.speedymetalpolish.com/
If the wheels aren't clearcoated, then you're dealing with fine scratches in a bare metal surface and most of these "polishes" are mainly going to work by filling them in, much like a wax does for paint. You'll need to use a fine abrasive polish (probably via machine) or fine grit paper to actually have any success at removing them from the wheel surface.
