^^the polish sold here in the 8oz black bottle is the best stuff i have ever used on my torque thrust IIs. Polish the rim with mothers first then try this stuff. it wipes off haze you didnt think the mothers even left behind. this stuff is the zaino for rims. believe me or not, nothing against mothers or any other rim polish but in the 8 years ive had these rims and the many many brands ive went through nothing touches this stuff.

Re: How To: Polish Aluminum Wheels

sorry for bringing back a old thread, i just didnt wanna start a new one.
I use the mothers powercone on my rims with mothers billet polish. And i dont under stand what im doing wrong to get this look. Its even worse in the sun, am i not using enough polish? When i do goto polish these i wash the cone out and its still wet when i polish, could this be the problem?

Re: How To: Polish Aluminum Wheels

Id assume that was your problem, try doing it with a completely dry cone, and wipe off excess with a terry cloth rag, when I polished my amp, the rag I was using got wet somehow, and it gave it that same cloudy look...
