    Aluminum polish

    I'm fixing to use wolfgang fine polish and concours polish on my wheels. They look good now just wanting that mirror finish. Should I do this by hand? Or machine? Any other tips? Thanks

    If you can get a polisher on them use it and if not use your hand. I doing chrome rims in the morning and I will have to use both.

    I will get one in the a.m. They are looking good now but I hear the cocours polish really does the trick so I bought a whole kit just to have around. How would you compare the polish to mothers or mothers billet polish?

    The best metal polish iv'e used was (believe or not) an over the counter from advanced called "White Diamond". I spent probably $100 trying to find the right metal polish and that one took the cake, still the only one I use today (the built in sealant is A+ to)

    (Compared to Mothers/Meguiars/Blue magic/E1/WG)

    I've been using the wolfgang line up of metal polishes and let me tell you it is top notch. I've actually polished out 5 20 foot cargo trailers wrapped in diamond plating that was oxidized horribly. When finished dont make the mistake not to use the wolfgang metal sealant.

    +1. You can get it over the counter. I haven't tried many, but this stuff is awesome. It has a sealant in it too.
    Made my polished aliuminum wheels look like chrome. I maintain them with Collinite metal wax because it lasts so long and is easy to appply.
