Been very curious on this aswell. I drive 500+ miles a week on my M3 and the brake dust is killer. I have 3 piece wheels with a bare aluminum lip so i think I'm finally going to ceramic coat them. I've done coatings on the body before but let's see how it goes on the wheels. Thinking of c5 wheel...
I find aerosol tire shines to work really good. Nxt tire shine is good. I'm still looking for more though. Interested in this tire shine that's behind the counter at oreileys I've heard about called cover all.
Looking for a super shiny wet tire shine, even if it only last a week I'm still okay...
Probably normal. Just have to shake it up. All chemicals I have that are liquidy I always shake because there's the chance of different chemicals and whatnot separating
Maybe I'll do a 50/50 comparison of all the different metal polishes I have used to really show what they do. I'm still trying to find a replacement for mothers billet, but I don't think I've found anything so far. They claim no abrasives in it I think and it is for final polish only, no cut or...
They are similar in consistency. Billet polish is more white in color. I don't really work it too long I think. If I don't work it enough it just smears around but if I go too long it leaves traces of residue that's hard to buff off aluminum easily and then you'll get towel marks.
Billet...
I've used microfiber towels, microfiber applicators, 3inch foam pads of various "cut" by hand and machine. And even used the mothers power cone.
Blue magic metal polish cream(has an ammonia smell but only if shove it in your face lol) and mother mag and alum polish have no difference in finish...
They are weds kranze Cerberus ii
Idk how to really upload pics yet but I think I did it right
That currently is the finish with blue magic metal polish cream. That's how I usually have the finish. But when I want the extra bling bling I use mothers billet polish which makes it even more...
How does it finish? Does it finish similarly to mothers billet polish? That's the kind of finish I'm looking for in a metal polish right now.
I've tried lots of other polishes but they all leave the aluminum hazy or cloudy.
Consistency of the polish is a non issue for me as long as it's easy...
So I have some weds kranze wheels with polished lips.
I need help picking some metal polishes.
So far to keep them maintained I use blue magic metal polish over mothers mag and alum. Because the residue whipeoff is much easier. I'm talking a million times easier.
But for the final show polish, I...
I only use two brushes. Blue ezdetail brush mini and a flag tipped brush. Meguiars wheel brightened on every single wheel no matter what, except bare aluminum wheels, and it makes cleaning a breeze, barely have to touch the wheel.
