Polishing Coated Aluminum Rims With BF One Step
I am planning on polishing some coated aluminum rims with the BLACKFIRE One Step, the Mothers Polishing ball and my old drill my father-in-law gave me. I was wondering if you guys have any experience with this and if I can get any feedback it would be very much appreciated.

I was going to include a picture of the wheels but I didn't know if it would be OK as it's just a potential client right now and so I didn't want to invade their privacy in any way. They are a coated aluminum according to the client, and appear to be in good condition.

I think this should work well and One Step is one of the best AIO’s. Just in case maybe keep a can of mother’s mag and aluminum polish on hand as that’ll work for you if the wheels aren’t cleared and are bare aluminum.

Can their wheels identify the owner?
Your foot might identify you LOL

No, but I didn't want to download their picture without their knowledge or permission as I have not been able to obtain my own pictures..
That dude probably found some one cheaper anyways. He likely wanted a flat rate and I was going to charge hourly.
I would be surprised to hear back from him.
Ha ha ha My name might identify me too. take care brother!

Roger that! Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish is what I was thinking as well if they aren't coated. I could do a test spot with a microfiber towel.
Thanks for your response!
In the Army we'd call this "great training" as I think the guy is going to some one with a flat rate. I was foing to charge hourly.
I'll be surprised if I hear back from him.

We recommend using a cordless drill, not corded. Corded can generate too much torque, and will "core"(like an apple) the PowerBall if it gets forced into a tight area.

Roger that! That is so cool a Mother's rep actually took the time to respond here! You just earned yourself some loyalty! Thank you!
