Polishing Aluminum/Forged Wheels

[JerryBsizzle]

My aluminum wheels looked good, but always had a slight milky haze to them. Very hard to keep shining. I used the Mother's Powerball and liquid polish but it only made things slightly better. I made the leap to the airway buffing wheels and rouge compounds. Wow what a difference. It is hard to tell in pics, but before I couldn't read the letters off a spray bottle in the reflection and now it is almost mirror like. I didn't spend a ton of time, just 2 quick passes on the lip for each wheel, but if anybody out there is struggling with aluminum wheels give it a shot. I also put two coats of Ethos Resist for protection and decided I'm only using ceramic soap on the wheels from now on, no wheel cleaners.

I am not a fan of chrome or bright aluminum finished wheels...I like them blacked out, but your wheels do look very nice! Great job
