    Guys,

    Just wondering if anyone has polished their wheels. I have BBS RGR's and I noticed that the wheels have a lot of hairline scratches on them. I've never polished the wheels on a clients car but was planning on polishing mine when I remove them for the winter. Any ideas?

    My CCW Classics are polished aluminum, and I'm actually pretty impressed with the Mother's Powerball mini. I use it with some of their mag and aluminum polish. The size of the ball happens to fit very nicely in the holes between the "spokes" on these wheels.

    Disclaimer: since they're autocross wheels, I don't really look for them to be totally perfect. They end up worlds better than they were, but if you're looking for perfection, there are probably better options out there.

    Small pads, and some intensive polish and a decent amount of time. Clear coat on wheels is the same as on paint. They are just trickier to work with. If you are talking mags wheels, mothers or other brands make pretty decent mag wheel polish. Even Eagle one nano polish is bad for mags

    Nope. My BBS are Painted and then Clear Coated like conventional paint. Has anyone tried to use SIP with the mothers powerball? I use the powerball to apply Klasse AIO to clean and seal wheels but never used SIP.

    A drill won't give the speed need to break down SIP
