1Quik7 Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 i need to polish my wheels badly, i have the "Blue Lightning" or something like that from AutoZone, it worked great on my hard pipes...but the wheels aren't coming along very well. any suggestions? also, it seems when i do get them slightly polish, they smear and get very dirty very easily...is there some kind of sealant or protection i can use on them?

Adam Posted April 19, 2005 Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 i use the eagle one stuff on my old cragers, it is in a little silver tin can, you rip little pieces of it off and use it like a wax/polish and wipe off, it has gotten some really dirty rims clean for me before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Quik7 Posted April 19, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2005 does anyone know if Dremel makes a "buffing" attachment? i have to really add some 'elbow grease' to make these things clean...and truthfully i think my arm will fall off first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckeye1647545503 Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 steve Lowes sells cotton buffing wheels as well as paste for each desired job. All you would need is a drill and anglr grinder etc. I did the wheels on my shelby and they look Real good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AudiOn19s Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 How bad are the wheels? I use Klasse AIO (All In One) on chrome as it's mainly a chemical cleaner with a little protection in it and works great on chrome. Meguiars ColorX is a similar formula and available locally. I'd start with the least agressive approach first on chrome and only move up to the more abrasive stuff if you have to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedLudeSH Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 Simichrome, from Harley stores. The absolute best by far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88lx5oh Posted April 20, 2005 Report Share Posted April 20, 2005 are these polished aluminum wheels or chrome.. chrome shouldnt be hard to get blingin... some 3m chrome wheel polish and bam shinen'... but a polished aluminum wheel, a little tuffer to get your shine out. hand polishing aluminum wheels will only get you so far, and as you said it will get that smeared look form hand polishing. but use a small air buffer, or dremel wiht buffing attachment and some semichrome (get it at iron pony for $7.95 a tube) and to keep that shine, some company makes a sealer for chrome or aluminum, or you can jsut get your wheels cleared.
