Which brand of aluminum wheel polish is considered to be the best. By the way, I placed my first order with the board sponsor (Classic Motoring Accessories) and was very impressed with the speed of service. They got my order out the next day, and e-mailed the tracking info. Pretty impressive in my book!

I found Nevr-Dull to work great for polishing and it is very cheap and can be picked up anywhere auto products are sold. Some people really like Wenol from Germany available at CMA. If your aluminum wheels have a clear coat on them like most new wheels do, you should not use too abrasive of a polish on them.

I find Wenol, Blue Magic and Semichrome to be all essentially the same. All work great.
I also use NeverDull for "lighter duty" situations.

It works fairly well on surface marks and light oxidation. And it does a little on stains. It's great stuff but is a bit limited. It's a better "maintenance" product than a damage repair product.

Perfect!! That's what I use for weekly shine ups.

This is an awesome vehicle that I have been maintaining for over a year now. This was not a correction detail but an enhancing exterior protection detail followed by a full interior detail.....the top stays down all of the time!
Wash Cycle:
Meguiar's Gold Class Wash...rinse.
No claying was needed.
Paint Cleansing Phase:
Meguiar's D-151 via G110 using LC White 5.5" Polishing Pad
This was to remove any previous wax/sealant and any stray swirls. We live in a rough enviroment here in the mountains.
No wipedown as issued since I wanted the protectants in D-151 to stay on the paint.
Paint Protection:
Collinite's #476s by hand and Meguiar's hand pad. The door jambs received the same treatment.
The trim and glass were protected by Optimum's Opti-Seal.
The top was cleaned/protected by 303's system.
Wheel Cleaning and Protection:
Cleaned with Meguiar's Wheel Brightener and protected Collinite's 476s
Tire Protection:
Meguiar's Endurance Tire Gel
Interior:
Leather cleaned with Meguiar's APC 20:1 and protected with Pinnacle's leather conditioner. All other surfaces were cleaned/treated with Meguiar's Interior Quick Detailer. Carpets and mats were deep cleaned with Folex and steam. Glass was cleaned with Meguiar's Detailer Line Glass Cleaner.
Time accumulated:
6 hours
Afters only. I clean it on a weekly basis.
