Aw,, Come on, Shawn,, enlighten the masses! We all have wheels that we want to look nice. I've used many different products over the last 40 years, and am currently using Hollywood's,, but always looking for something better.

I use Smithbrite. It comes in two different compounds, one is more aggressive than the other depending on how dirty they are.

I use products from Mike at Metalwax. He has a Facebook page and demo videos on there and Youtube. Outstanding products that flat work!

So if your polishing your wheels, means you found out what was wrong with your motor.

I'm with Ed on this one. What do you use to CLEAN them? Everyone has their own favourite elixir to polish them and I have tried Autosol, Mothers and Alcoa and they all seem to be pretty much the same (lots of time and elbow grease). But what is best / easiest to use for regular wash up and clean aluminum wheels and trailer trim when giving it a bath? Doug

I use Aluma-Kleen a product of Bio-Kleen available @ Redneck Trailer Supplies It removes oxidation, discoloration and stains. It is not a polish strickly a cleaner. You have to shine them up after the cleaning process. They also have a polish but we use Mothers

I highly recommend California Custom De-Oxidizer and Purple Polish.


Most truck shops stock it and use it because it is the easiest.
I do use Flitz for stains, but this polish blows it away.
I got it from a neighbor at Mack Truck Sales-Leasing at his cost for about $9/bottle.
We have a little real estate to keep clean, and this stuff works effortlessly.

I've used them all over the past 30+ years and none better nor require so little effort for a fantastic shine as Brooklyn Ball Buster Polish Cleaner

The Brooklyn Ball Buster puts two nuts in every bottle. He says, "The third's behind the wheel".
