[yukon25008.1]

I picked up a set of 4 classic II wheels on ebay for $350 including shipping they just look like they need a good cleaning/and polishing...Id really like to get them to shine& look like new.

So im just wondering what you guys think would be the best product to use,Thanks

Mothers power ball or Flitz ball. Personally I like the Fitz ball better because it's cloth rather than foam.

So i used mothers mag&aluminum polish and it did great day andnight difference but it still needs more and could be better, depending on the product does speed matter when rubbing it on..Like is by hand better or should i use the drill with a ball or pad??

I added a topic similar to this in the Rims & Tire section of this forum. I didn't get much advice over there either. The best I could find was a pre-cleaner that Flitz offers that you use before polishing and then pretty much do like you did and use a power ball or buffer of some sort to work the polish. Flitz also has a wax that you can use on polished aluminum wheels that helps to seal the metal so you don't have to polish them as often. The only advice I can give you is clean the power ball and polish it again. If the rims are oxidized pretty bad it can take a lot of work to get them to a high shine again.

I use a Meguiers DynaCone and it works great getting in the holes of the MT Classic II's (I have same wheels). It came with a small sample of some kind of wheel polish, I believe it was called Hot all wheel polish, and it made my wheels shine better than I could get the mothers mag and aluminum to do. Don't forget that these wheels are polished aluminum, so you must buff them often to keep the shine, and make sure your wheel cleaner says safe for ALL wheels!!! I made the mistake, and the stuff not safe for polished aluminum made the wheels haze up real bad. I recommend Turtle Wax ICE All Wheel and Tire Cleaner. Works great and won't break the bank! Hope I could help.
