I have a set of 95r's on my car and I had it sitting in my garage for 2years and the wheels were neglected. They have no luster at all and don't really look too good. Looks like I'm going to definetly need an agressive compound to get them looking good again. Anybody have a suggestion?
I mean they are in very good condtion. Not curbed or scratched and like I said before the car was in my garage for 2 years they just don't shine. I've tried some polishes but they are just not agressive enough to do anything at all.
Use regular Mothers,the Billet polish isnt abrasive enough to cut oxidation.I have used Blue Magic,Wenol,Simichrome,Mothers,off brands at swap meet(not bad),Eagle one cotton,but the best I have used,but its hard to find it is Extreme,it a pink wadding polich in a black plastic can,next would be Mothers with a buffing wheel.I also hace the Flitz wheel(not that good) and the new mothers power buff,also not that good.
I use a polishing arbor on a drill with some Mother's metal polish, or white rouge. Works every time. Tim
MOTHERS POWERBALL IS THE BEST INVENTION FOR THIS PERIOD!!! use it with a cordless drill and mothers billet polish and it made my boyds look like chrome!!! in 1 1/2 hours for all for wheels. before that i hadnt polished them for 2 yrs. so they were looking a bit under the weather.
I bought some polish today. I had mothers in the garage already and it just donesn't seem to work w/ my wheels for some reason. I ended up going w/ blue magic and they turned out great. I just used a cloth and buffed them by hand. I'll take some after pics. Thanks for the suggestions.
If you want them to stay looking good an reduce cleaning try a wheel polish. Poorboys world just came out with some wheel polish that has been getting good reviews. I have some coming in the mail should be here maybe tomorow if this tropical storm (maybe hurrican by the time it lands) doesn't stop UPS from delivery. http://www.autogeek.net/pbws.html
