Tips for polishing rims!
Tips for polishing rims!
I got that never-dull and i need to know some tips im not taking off the wheel and all that stuff like that..I just wanna do a quik shine job on it... all help in appreciated
hey man do yourself a favor and ditch the never dull, go pick up some mothers aluminum polish, this stuff works wonders. when your polishing your wheels its just like waxing, you want to go in cirlcular motions, put 1 coat on the wheel, let it sit for about a minute till it starts to haze, and then rub off again in a circular motion, then buff the hell out of them with a nice 100% cotton polishing cloth, you could even do another coat, but ive never done it so i dont know if it would make it much better, anyways good luck man

mothers works great...but someone on the board gave me a even a better product to use. Its called Blue magic wheel polish. 2 coats i put on mine.....and there like mirrors now!
Blue Magic IS way better than mothers. i have both and i think that the reason blue magic is better is that its more of a jelly then a paste and it gets dark alot faster and gets stuff really shinny alot faster. so do your self a favor and get some blue magic. as for tips, ummm use lots of the polish and rub for a long time and do multiple coats for extra shine.

Never used the Black Magic stuff, Mothers worked pretty good for me.
Heck its only about $3.50 for a little can, do a wheel with one brand then try the other, I'd kinda like to see the differences between the two.

I did the polishing months ago, but never got around to painting them back to a glossy black. Joined: Jul 2000

When you polish, is there anyway to mask and polish around the stripes and insides so that you don't touch them in the process and keep the color stock??

I dont even know what to suggest for masking purposes. Maybe someone else does.

Don't you have to spray something on them to get the clear coat off??
