Ive tried Mothers version of this with unnoticeable results; keep ur $25 and just get some steel wool and a good rubbing compound. It may take a while but should make a big difference depending on the condition. post some pics

Ur not gonna fix any pits in ur wheels. U can pick up a variety pack of steel wool at a parts store or walmart and the packaging will tell u what to use. i dont remember if its fine or super fine. Post a pick of the wheel with pits
