Ok....I'm polishing up my 19's and they are not clearcoated.
Anyhow, they had quite a few water spots and I'm using Eagle One Never Dull Wadding Polish. After 2 go arounds all the spots are gone and the wheels are smooth but I think i can get a little more shine outta them. There just seems to be a bit of haze or maybe they are still a bit dull. Anything else I should polish these with to get a little more shine? I did go over them with clean terry clothes.

A buffing wheel on a diegrinder will work....also when done, rub the wheels w/ corn starch.:read:

Takes of the left over polish that a rag/towels miss and puts a nice smooth finish in it's place. Try it....it works.:read:

CKTA is right about the corn starch, I haven't tried it on my wheels, but I have tried it on other metals. Also Cameron, next time your down here by Norman stop at a place called LWM (if you want I can give you directions) and get some Xtreme metal polish, I promise you will never need anything else.. You will go throw that can of Never Dull into the Lake.:D

When you exit off go kinda slow because you will have to make a sharp left and go under the bridge, and then go around and go back over the bridge heading east. Once you get over the bridge look back north and you will see Sight and Sound, LWM is right next to it.
