Gords works well but I would follow up with something like Mothers Billet polish just to get some of the light scratches out that Gords leaves

Maybe email Boyd Coddington and ask them, if you havent already. I dont think I would try anything until then....those wheels are a bit pricey to screw up...Just my opinion.

What I did with mine(thank god I sold them...such headache) when winter came i brought them inside and polished them one by one, over and over. All the nooks and crannies. Looked fantastic! This was before the powerball, and they never quite looked like yours do. I also used that eagle one can that has the polishing cloth in it, that stuff really works good when you just need to touch them up. I would never buy another set of polished wheels though, way to much upkeep.

I can already tell you what they will say. They will tell him to use Heavy Metal Polish... I don't think there is any way he can mess up the wheel just polishing it up, unless he uses something other than a polish for aluminum and the polishes that we have suggested will work fine. In fact I've used all of these polishes mentioned on my TT2s.
Oh I just want to give you a heads up on the polishing wheel. If you use it becareful around the spokes. The edges tend to grab the wheel and jurk the drill. The drill I used had a metal chuck and I had to wet sand a few areas because I got careless and didn't pay attention. So you might want to tape up the chuck or do like I did and get a peice of old heater hose and slit it and put it around the chuck. It acts as a cushion to protect incase you don't pay attention
