Default Polishing Douglas Wheels

What does everyone recommend to polish my Douglas aluminum wheels? I've used Mother polish and a power ball in the past......any better ideas?

Thanks -Zach

I just haven't had that much luck with Mothers. Maybe I bought the cheapest one. I use this stuff called PURPLE. It's bad a!

i use blue magic for ALL my polishing needs, but mothers works pretty damn well, and hand polishing may take a while but still pays off

Yeah it won't be a few months until the weather warms up here so I figured I'd get my wheels looking new! Right now I have the mothers mag and aluminum polish in the red and white can.

If my front wheels are really bad, can I wet sand them and re-polish?

I use buffing wheels with alum compounds.

Check out our Cosmetic forum, I have a bit of polished stuff in there.
