Wink Re: Billet wheels...what polish??

Chris,,, you don't mention if the wheels are coated,, but on my Bogarts which are polished aluminum with no coating, I've had great luck with Hollywoods. I use the liquid form. It has a higher talc content than other products for a little quicker drying time, and the "wipe off" is much cleaner. Good luck which ever product you end up using.

JAX Wax makes a chrome/aluminum polish that works great.

I would only recommend California Purple Polish. Used by the Pros to maintain aluminum on semis and show cars.
Mothers is no comparison. I used to use Flitz for the tough stuff.

If you have old wheels that have been sitting around, use their de-oxidizer first.

Most effortless and brightest polish I have used in 25 years.
