What’s the Best Chrome Wheel stuff?
 
While my wheels are off for the caliper rebuild, I want to polish up the chrome wheels, maybe powerball and what does everyone use? I thought I had a Griots Chrome polish but I’m not seeing it in the cabinet.

I use BlueMagic metal polish. Does the job!!

What about those power ball buffer things?

I can’t find my can of never dull, great on my stock snowflakes, there’s no clear coat on them from the factory, it seals the alum, anyway, the powerball cone and the new Meguires Chrome polish is the ticket. The cone gets into the sides real well on this wheel. I remember the old meg mag polish was real dusty, it was hard to clean off. Chip Foose is rite on these buffers, lol It’s comes already with the apex tool in the buffer. It gets in the tight spots, you can prob do the rim on the car quickly.

The Griots garage rubber leaner worked well too, they make a mild wheel. Leaner also, I must have used it up, it’s gone, good time to clean the back side of the wheel now, most people don’t clean the back sides often enough, all the brake dust and grime looks bad,
A caliper just hung up on this car, so I’m doing the back brake detail as well as the wheels, it’s an 95 Infiniti, fun car to drive, all Alum V8, rear wheel drive, I smoked a Honda one day that had that stupid big wing on the trunk, he looked baffled, I rolled the window down and said V8. Lol

Correction: both are Mothers products. And they just work great, the cone buffer even has a plastic sleeve on the metal shaft in case you go to far in, it won’t marr the rim.
The polish that you get on the rubber comes off easily too. Great products.
