Wheel Polishing Kit

Re: mlm opportunity reviews and mlm opportunity reviews

I have a question regarding the kit being able to remove oxidation from wheels. I'm working on my dad's latest "buy and flip" and the wheels really need some TLC. It's a 95 Chevy step-side.

If the wheels are bare, polished metal then the answer is yes. If the wheels are painted or clear coated and the paint is oxidized or the clear is failing, then no.

Would this be durable for polished aluminum diamond plating? I have the mothers power all and it works great but being as big as it is, it can be a bit of a hassle when getting into hard to reach spots.

It should do quite well on diamond plating. Depending on how sharp the edges of the "diamonds" are you may or may not see some fine cutting of the foam, but as others have mentioned it is extremely durable.

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

I used this kit on my Pacer 164 polished aluminum wheels and LOVED it. I love the arbor on the shaft, so easy to control. The foam is super durable (Powerball spits foam fingers at me) The shape of the cone is perfect, not too big or too small and it really puts a shine on the wheels. I did find that it did haze a little, but nothing a quicky with a microfiber applicator and more polish wont take care of. here are the pics of the truck adter polishing:

Looks great! Thank you for sharing!

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

Can I use the Mag & Aluminum Polish with the cone for non-coated aluminum wheels? Or will the All Metal Polish work fine?

NOOOOOO, chrome polish should not be used on aluminum. get the Hot Rims aluminum polish, good stuff

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

No problem.

You could even try with a paint cleaner type polish e.g. SwirlX, M205 etc. The same rules as above would apply...

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

dc2 - see below:

can i use quik detailer on them no matter what they are? Yes, of course.

i do not know how do i determine if the lip is bare or clearcoated and also about the spokes One way is to try polishing the lip. If your cloth or pad goes black, that means there is metal being transferred onto it and thus the lip is bare metal with no clearcoat. If the lip is clearcoated, you'll see no colour transfer onto your cloth/pad.

can u use lightcleaner n wax on the spokes? Yes, of course.

I hope that helps

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

how would meguiars recommend cleaning/polishing/maintaining these to look its very best?
all i had in mind was quik detailer...

Tell us a bit more about these wheels - are the spokes painted or powder coated? Is the lip bare metal or clear coated? If everything is painted and clear coated then our Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner should be safe on them. One of my cars has aftermarket wheels with painted spokes and polished lips, but the entire wheel is clear coated and I've used All Wheel Cleaner and even Wheel Brightener on them with no problems.

If your spokes are powder coated and/or the lips are bare metal, then either stick with our Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner or just soap and water. If the lip is NOT clear coated then a metal polish should be used to bring gloss up to a maximum level, but if they have a clear coat a metal polish is a poor choice and you're better off with just a light paint cleaner when needed and a bit of wax.
