Default Aluminum Wheel Polish
Whats up guys i was wondering if some of you can give me some ideas on what wheel polish you guys use. I have some reproduction Z06 Wheels Polished Aluminum (not chrome). I have some mothers polish but i can't seem to take out some brake dust dust blemishes. Any ideas would be great thanks

I haven't had great luck with mine...but anyhoo, I use English Custom Polishes. I'm waiting on my new felt tip bobs to come in to get in the places the Powerball just can't go.

I use Mother's Billet polish but if the wheels are real bad then I've wet sanded them and they look brand new after I finish.
