billet cleaner & polish
for you guys who have been complaining about polishing your aluminum i have some stuff made by excaliber that's great. it looks like a big ball of cotton. you tear off a small piece and work it all over the wheel. wipe off with one cloth and then go back over it with another clean cloth. it took me 15 minutes a wheel today after not touching them in over a month. i had used all the liquids out there and this is much faster and i think gives a better finish. check out my wheels at my site. i had just finished polishing when i took these pics.

I use something pretty similar. It's NEVR-DULL wadding polish made by EAGLE ONE. Works Great!

Ive never tried the excalibur stuff, but i know the Never Dull wadding cotton stuff works pretty well. Two other products yall should try are Semi-Chrome (works great on all metals - even chrome) and Trenz has a line of polishes that work better than anything out there...period. I could polish my Weld wheels with every polish out there, and i could still get them twice as clean and shiny by using the trenz. It costs about $25 a bottle, and ive had my bottle for over 6 months now and i havent even used a 1/2 the bottle, its plenty worth it. They even amke diiferent grades of polish for different metals...the green polish (middle grit) works best on pretty much eveyrthing.

I've used that semi-chrome but it costs an arm and a leg.

Talking polish
I like to use extreme metal polish. This stuff is great you can wipe it on and leave it on there until you get all your wheels done then come back and wipe it all off. I've tried everything out there and this stuff is the BEST..

I just have used the old tried and true Mothers. I am open to change. Do they still make that stuff waters spelled with a q or something like that? It was out there about 8 or 9 years ago. It was a pink cotton like you guys are talking about.

Wenol is by far the most superior metal polish I have used!
Give it a shot next to your Mothers or Never Dull...you will be just as stoked as I was.:wow:

Wenol is definately goo stuff. It seems like it is finer material and works good if your wheels are already semi clean. However if you need to get them clean, mothers is the best IMO. Trust me though after that here comes the Wenol.
