I didn't feel like making two threads, so I combined the two. First off is WG MetallWerk Kit. Now to be fair to everyone, I found some really awesome metal polish from Boyd Coddington, there will be a pic of it. It's kind of like an AIO for metal. It even beads water!!
I'm not one to cheer on any chemical line until I know what it can do. So I used the BC on my wheels and fender and it did an awesome job. But for the front of the trailer it required somthing more aggressive. The BC has compounding agents in it, but not enough to give it that extra bite. The 4 step WG method is alot of work. I got the wools pads but sold my rotary. :( So i had to use the micro-pad set i got from Rightlook that's supposed to be used for my headlight restoration. It has 2 different wool pads and 3 foam pads. I used a yellow wool for the Compound, white wool for polish and yellow foam for concour polish. Oh ya, I also used a corded drill that runs 2500 rpm. The system works pretty well... I might of gotten better results with a rotary so I might have to get TexasTB to let me borrow his.
I applied the Sealant to the wheel, but not the front end so we will see how it holds up. And make sure you have plenty of towles for wiping off the polishes!!! That is the worst part!! But determine the results for yourself.
The fender and wheel were done with Boyd Coddington Metal Polish using mf towel
