Default Re: Need help polishing my polished aluminum wheels

If you have sanded thoroughly all the way up to 2000grit wet, you will then have to get a highspeed (and I mean high speed) drill and a spiral sewn cotton wheel small enough to get into the tight spots. Apply the brown tripoli compound and start polishing. Attention to detail at this phase is very important. Once you have finished with that you should have a gleaming finish, but don't stop there. Follow it up with a generous rubbing of Mother's metal polish. Other people on this forum suggest Flitz but I do not have that much experience with that product. Your wheels should look chrome by now.
