California Purple Polish preceded with their de-oxidizer...
Most truck stops have it.....and for good reason....effortless.
I had only used Flitz prior, but that takes a lot of time as you only do a small spot at a time.

It's no gimmick and has been around for years.

Clark,
I found Flitz about 30 years ago when I was a gun dealer. It is made in Germany and we used it to polish blued and stainless guns. Bluing is very thin and an abrasive cleaner will take it off of a gun in a heartbeat. Flitz will not take bluing off and leaves a high polish shine that also leaves a metal protection that lasts for months. That said I use it on metal, paint, plastic with great success. You don't have to use it in small areas. I apply it with one of those polishing balls on a cordless drill on my wheels. Works great. Really is worth a try. Jim

Richie,
The best stuff I have found is called "Bush" and you can get it at any
Flyin "J" truck stop. Drivers use it on there saddle tanks. Great shine!

I use it on my door car wheels, trailer fenders and corners, duallie wheels etc......

Comes in a plastic bottle and costs around $15 bucks. I apply it with a terry cloth pad and wipe it off with a micro-fiber towel. That simple.

Good luck.......
