2 hours to polish one wheel?

I have MB Motoring Bruzer mirror machined aluminum wheels. It is taking me 2 hours plus to just polish one wheel. The water spots are regoddamndiculous to get out. Should it be taking me this long? They are 20's. I have tried both the mothers billet polish and blue magic metal polish. Is there anything I can put on the wheels after I polish them to keep them clean? It seems like after the first wash or rain they are a mess again!

thanks,
Mike

Ha HA Dan, I have been. I have three wheels done so far...fingers are numb. You should come over and do the 4th one for me. Next time I buy wheels im deffinately going to for the teflon black with just the polished lip.

Mine are chrome. I polish mine a couple times a year. However if you want a quick clean up, I use windex glass wipes to take off the brake dust or water spots. Should be similar on aluminum.
