Well, after a couple weeks I already have some spots and stains on the HRE lips (knew it was coming). I have been told mothers is the best polish to use, but which mothers is it?? I am not experience at all with polishing wheels as I have never had wheels like this before. Please share some tips and tricks, what I should use and how I should do it.
Thanks guys,
Evan

Mothers billet polish....
My bodyshop guy used this with a small buffer and they look sick!!

 

Thanks, will get some in a few mins...
Hey what % tint do you have?? I am having mine done this week, and can't decide. My installer/buddy is beggin me to do 6%!!!!! I told him deff. not, but can't decide. Only other "low" % he has is 22% and I don't think that is dark enough. Had 15% on the M5 and loved it, yours looks good tho what is it?
Thanks
Evan

 

I have 35% on mine (more than that is illegal in MA!!!)...I also dont likethe tint too dark because now on a sunny day you can see my alu intrior and red belrs

 

yeah, the Mothers works really well. Make sure the wheel is not hot and in the shade, or else it will cake up. If you have access to a rotary buffer with wool pad, you can make them really shine!

 

Mothers all the way!!

 

Hey, about tinting your windows, I was wondering if the tint on the windows make the Valentine 1 less effective. I would love to put tint on, but not if it counteracts my V1's efectiveness. Thanks

 

You may also want to check out Wizard. Here's a sample

 

Where can I find this??
Also guys:
I have never polished wheels b4, how is it done?? Just like polishing a car?? Apply on (circular motion), then wipe off with clean towel(circular motion)?? What should I use to polish, towels or pads?? Sorry I am a newbie at having nice wheels .

Try www.wizardproducts.com

Get a 100% cotton towel to wipe it off. This wizard is basically like a cotton with a cleaner liquid built into it. So apply it going back and forth on the HRE lip and then wipe it off with your 100% cotton towel. End result should look like that.

 

WOW, sounds really easy (I am lazy and like easy ). I am guessing the product is the "Metal Polish"??
Thanks,
Evan

 

Yeah you and me! I'm lazy too sometimes but when it comes to cleaning my shoes can't be that lazy. And yes it's the Metal Polish.

 

Do I have to get those "cheeze cloths" with it or can i just apply with a cotton towel??
Regards,
Evan

 

Cotton should be ok.

 

Mother's works great.

The nice thing about a high polish finish is that when (not if) you get curb rash, you can polish it out with metal sandpaper and Mother's.
