Looking for a product that actually works to polish my rims. Which would you suggest that leaves a great shine?

 

Are they noncoated Iforged? NXT or Mothers metal polish with a mothers mini powerball will be your best bet. Some people also swear by Zoopseal, which extends the period between polishings to 3-6 months

 

lol, thats funny cuz I polish my wheels after every wash, which is about once a week. I have the powerball mini, but unfortunetly I dont know how to use it well and I do a much better job by hand. I was using turtle waxes platinum series all metal wheel polish, and that seemed to work great for me. Unfortunately I cant find it anywhere anymore, I dont know why.

 

They are non-coated.

 

yes, Zoopseal is definetly needed then, or at least a synthetic sealant or wheel wax. Polishing after every wash would surely suck, I used to do it on my polished 4runner wheels, and it would take 3-4 hours

 

It doesnt take me that long but i do waste about 20-30 minutes/wheel. Whats zoopseal?

Mothers Billet Polish

 

^^ Sucks. I hate it. I have it and is probably the worse of all of the ones I have tried. But thanx.

 

yup, good stuff.

 

Zaino Z-PC is killer on aluminum.

For a local solution, Flitz, from Ace Hardware.

 

what about wheel wax
i heard it works real well on chrome not sure about aluminum

 

I've used Mothers for years but only on wheels without clearcoat. My Volks
get only WheelWax and micro towels.......anything else is retarded!

 

and what is this claim based on? Wheelwax isn't anything special, just a synthetic sealant that they sell for an high price. Any quality synthetic sealant can do the same job

 

there is a new meguiars metal and wheel polish...its GREAT!
