I use Mothers aluminum polish and then follow up with Mothers Billet polish to get the mirror finish. I then seal it with a meatl sealant, like Wizards Power Seal. This keeps the dust and dirt out of the pores.

Did you put the wizards to use? if so did you like it? I'm looking for something to seal mine before we start test driving

I have been using the Power Seal from wizards for a long time. It does help to keep the aluminum clean by keeping the water and dust out of the pores in themetal. I run a Billet Specialties rim on a daily driver and it works real well with the daily use.

do you have a brand or style preference on the pads ?

Any ceramic brake pad will significantly cut down on brake dust.

How much does the powdercoat cost? And do they look just as good?
