I'm trying to fina good alumium polish

I am have ing a problem with the clear coat on my wheels being eatin off by the harsh wheel cleaner i have been using. But now that the clear coat is cone i free to polish the alumium to a high shine. I have been using Mothers billet polish with good luck. I was wondering if any one else knows of any thing better

I use Wenol blue on anything smooth and metal. I think that it's the less abrasive of the two Wenol metal auto polishes.

I guess I'm old school - I'm a Mother's dude myself. Maybe it's just the fumes, man, I dunno. . .

Simichrome polish

I use Simichrome polish.

It comes in a squeeze tube. I've used it on aluminum motorcycle cases, injection molding molds, valve covers, wheels etc. Has no harsh chemicals in it it like some of the other products.

Best Metal Polish in Exsistence

Collinite Metal polish is the best stuff on the planet for polishing any metal surface. Get it here... 1-800-548-4321 or go to www.paintworldinc.com and search for it...I think the Polish is listed in with the insulator wax...both made by Collinite.
