Which stainless steel polish does everybody use or prefer? I just ordered some 22x9.5 wheels for the wife's Yukon and they have a polished stainless lip. Here's a link to the wheels.Search Wheels by Vehicle at Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/WheelCloseUpServlet?target=runWheelSearch&initialPartNumber=408655F1578BMFPSL&wheelMake=Avarus&wheelModel=AV4&wheelFinish=BMF+w%2FPolished+Stainless+Lip&showRear=no&autoMake=GMC&autoModel=Yukon+4wd&autoYear=2001&autoModClar=&filterSize=All&filterFinish=All&filterSpecial=false&filterBrand=All&filterNew=All&sort=Brand)
Thanks Ryan

Mothers Powerball Mini and English Metal Polishes Custom Showmans version. Make sure lip is uncoated from manufacturer.

I'm pretty sure they are not coated. Where can I get that English Metal Polish?

I found some of the English Metal Polish and it said after you use the Showmans blend to follow it up with the Custom blend. Does that sound right??

I too have them both ... heres a hint with Showmans. Apply with a towel, allow to sit for a moment or two and then start buffing it in, then buff off with another towel. Its amazing to see it change all the sudden and the tarnish turns the polish an amazing black. It likes the back and forth motion, but doesnt need the pressure and grind most wheel polishes seem to need.
