Probably on my way to Amarillo when you see me in Hereford. Another guy always claims he sees me there too, forum name is "LT1 King" but don't know his real name.
Yea I use those polishes for removing fine scratches, brake dust, and regular old grime on the wheels. I buy it on the master formula website or the Wenol on ebay. Everyone will tell you to get Mother's Billet Polish but thats like $15 at Autozone. IMO the other polishes I mentioned cost the same or even less for more product and better quality.

mothers polish and a mini-powerball is what i have been using. Works alright but it takes FOREVER. Usually a whole afternoon of cussing and bitching about how much i hate polished wheels. haha. but when they are clean its so worth the work.

I just put my TT2's on. Has anyone ever tried never dull. Use it on my Stainless exhaust and it works great. I am going to read the can and see if it safe to use on the rims.

I use Wizards CottonCandy Metal polish from Napa.
I really like the stuff and it's so easy to use. I just apply, wipe, spray it with some soapy water, and wipe dry.
Here are some before and after pics. I just a real quick job with the wheels still on the car. Here real soon I plan on pulling them off and doing a much better job.
Before:
After:
Please excuse the wetwheel on the last pic. And like I said this was just a real quick job to see how well the product work. If I would have taken my time and done it properly, they really would look good.
