Re: Aluminum polishing

I tried one of those Mother's polishing balls on a set of wheels I picked up. The wheels were almost black from brake dust and grime. I power washed the wheels, used some Simple Green to clean off some of the crap and then spent about 10 minutes each with the ball.

Let me say, I was highly impressed. I could have spent a little more time on them but they shined up great. From a couple feet back they almost look like chrome. Up close you can still see a few spots of really bad brake dust. At some point I will hit them again with the polishing ball and really get them done up.

Worked great and fast, without a whole lot of effort.
