I have polished aluminum formula wheels and they need a little attention. Has anyone used toothpaste before to polish there aluminum wheels?

I saw your wheels at work today. From the fence, they look fine. To be honest, I have not heard of that, but it is worth a try.

I do use toothpaste on the bathroom mirror to keep it from fogging up after a shower though.
