Wheel cleaning - Would this work???

I had an idea the other day I wanted to run it buy you guys to get your thoughts. I have some nasty looking stock Z28 wheels(the 15x7's) and I tried some mothers on one and it looked pretty good. What I was thinking was, could I use one of those electric polishing guns/tool things you use on your shoes but put the mothers polish on it? I had the idea because there is enough dirt on there I wanna cut down on the elbow grease needed. Any comments or ideas???

hmm, i would think as long as it wasn't too fast or too abrasive, then it shouldn't hurt it. i just got a MAG wheel cleaner brush at autozone and spray on my A-2-Z wheel cleaner and they come out pretty dang shiney.

once u get them clean, just clean them often, and u won't have to do as much work.

I use a dremel tool with a buffing wheel,you can control the speed of the dremel. Just remember keep moving.
