Anyone have any suggestions on what I should buy? I need to buy stuff for my new paint job as well...

Exactly you would be suprised how much of a difference a good quality MF towel will make. I learned this and I will never go back to cheap stuff.

Nevermind, it is indeed a different product!
I have never seen this in the general auto stores but I'll keep my eyes open when I drop by one tomorrow. Maybe this is the solution

Your wheels look great but we are dealing with two different animals. The finish on my wheels is like chrome and, because of that, it shows every imperfection one can imagine.

I get it a Auto Zone.
I get it a Auto Zone.I picked some up today and gave it a shot...There is DEFINITELY an improvement. Thank you for the tip! I'm going to polish it a few times with the Billet polish and hopefully it will remove all of the scratches.
