Polishing Wheels...

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 05-08-2005, 08:10 PM

Ok i polished my wheels yesterday with mother polish( just the reg. polish not the billet stuff) and they shined up better than they were and got rid of some water spots. I polished the hell out of then, killed my hands and arms doing them all. But it still left some water spots and some black stuff from my brakes or whatever, but it didnt get rid of them. I plan on polishing them again tomorrow, would you all recommend a diff. brand of polish? Is the billet polish that much better for my wheels than the reg stuff. Let me know so i know if i should buy some diff. polish tomorrow or just use more of what i got?? heres a pic of what they look like now, just as shiny as my dads new rodlites, but i want them shinier, and without the spots

IMO the ultimate billet is the best out there for the wheels.

get a flitz ball or a mother's powerball, that'll take the grunt work from your hands to your cordless drill

adamaarsvold · 05-08-2005, 11:06 PM

i think the mothers billet is worth it. give it a shot and see if you like it.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 05-08-2005, 11:20 PM

yeah i think ill pick up some of that biller mothers stuff. I just hesitated to buy it cause i got that 10oz. of reg. mothers for like 7 bux and the 4oz of the billet suff was 10 bux so i was like um ill go with regular LOL.. I think i can do just as good of a job as a bit thing and im to cheap to buy one

its good exercise LOL.. Not any chance of being able to buy they mothers billet polish at lowes is there? Cause i gotta stop by there n pick up some of my 88cent a can primer

guess ill make 2 stops.

The Mothers Billit jar is worth it.

zY · 05-09-2005, 06:17 AM

Werd the mothers billet really is amazing.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 05-09-2005, 10:08 AM

alright cool, ima pick up a jar after i leave the stupid doctors.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 05-09-2005, 11:46 AM

bought the polish, wondering wether or not i should go ahead n polish them now or not.. it rained its ass off last night, not supposed to rain today but i dont wanna go back out and get em wet again from wet roads

think ill go do what i gotta do then come back n clean truck back up n polish them again.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 05-09-2005, 01:56 PM

half way cleaned truck up again then polished wheels with the billet polish.. i got blisters on end of fingers from pushing so hard gettin em shinier..

i think they are shinier.. whats everyone else think?? oh and ignore the polish on the tires

its wiped off now.

***Wicked Mayhem*** · 05-09-2005, 01:59 PM

oh and that wheel sittin next to my truck is a new rodlite, never been dirty or anything, just comparing them.

Low98Dime · 05-09-2005, 05:54 PM

thanks, yeah ive always wanted my dad to get rodlites on the projects we build but he always went with superlites or sometimes prostars, then i finally get my own truck and save up my money and buy rodlites and then now he wants them on his new project

OnelowGnome · 05-11-2005, 02:05 PM

i heard that flitz ball works good, i used busch polish, it worked good....... im switching to mothers billet..

key to billet is ZOOP sealant... $130 once you seal the wheel, its like chrome, wash/dry/done!

Low98Dime · 05-22-2005, 09:05 PM

i used the flitz ball on my rims yesterday and instead of using the flitz polish i just threw some mothers billet polisher on there and stead and used the flitz ball! haha! They look hella good! I am very impressed.
