Help with iForged "lip" cleaning pic inside

I'm trying to figure out what do to the lips are all looking a little dull trying to find out what type of polish to use. I have used some MetalWax from Collinite in the past awesome stuff just trying to be careful ,don't want to damage the wheel. I tried my mothers powerball I think she had a few birthdays under her belt so as soon as I used it was toast the foam flew everywhere.


Here is the lip I'm trying to clean

Are the wheels just polished or clear coated? Can't tell from the pic. If polished go with a metal polish. If clear coated go with a paint cleaner(something similar to what you would use on your paint). Hope this helps.

Re: Help with iForged "lip" cleaning pic inside

I have Iforged High Polished Wheels and have used numerous polishes and tools in the quest to keep them new. To date I suggest English Polishes Custom Blend or Big Dogs Metal polishes and this tool.

Lake Country Wool Ball Polishing Balls polish metals, plastics, fiberglass, and more just like a wool pad. Polish wheels, polish metal, wool polish

Our Wolfgang Metalwerks polishes are nice also, if you are looking for a one stop visit.

I used my Mothers PowerMetal Aluminum over the week-end with my PowerBall and it worked very nicely on my wheels. Maybe give that Wool ball a try, that you were linked to. It looks like it would suit your deep dish wheels a lot better.

they make a harsher polish that should be used first in cases of swirls and scratches then moving to custom polish. Get a couple heads then for each polish. If deep scratches they can be reduced but hard to remove.
