cleaning billet wheels

DAMN, what's it take? I used a mothers power ball on one spoke and shit it takes forever. AND NO where near really shiny. I used the MOTHERS cleaner for wheels. What does everyone else use? Anything better than this?

get your polish spread out a little bit with the powerball and then toss on some regular old baking flour and go to work with the powerball again

Go to your local truck stop and chunk the crack head a $20. He'll get em shined up.

hell these things have ben sitting on my truck outside for almost 3 years. the crackhead ain't gonna touch em..


you mean just regular white baking flour?

ive used just the mothers billet polish and a powerball and mine cleaned up nice. the guy i got them from said he had them for about 4 years. got some pitting on the backsides but i plan to sand that out and polish em up. and these arent the centerlines on my nissan these are some boyd 18s i recently picked up.

well i got the front face of one half ass cleaned up. its still got a ways to go. lots of water spots. i tried the flour, and it worked decently, but damn, these things are gonna make me wanna 5 lug my truck and run some 20s..

Mothers ultimate (now called incredible) polish. I use 2 terry towels, one to really work it in, the other to polish it out. Even take a microfiber towel afterwards to get that extra bit.

Blitch ... get you a dremil and those spots will come right up! but honestly it takes some elbow greese to get them bad boys blingin again!

wet sand em w/ some 3000 grit.

what rpm are you polishing them at? are you using enough polish? you might have to use a courser polish then step up to a finer polish.
