billet aluminum, chrome wheels

for chrome i use a product called "never dull" that i buy at autozone, amazing stuff. now my question is, what do you guys use for billet wheels? i have a customer with a dually and has some 18 wheeler like wheels. they're huge, billet, and filthy. they're either 22's or 24's and im NOT going to polish each one of those big a** wheels by hand. chrome wouldnt be a big deal, billet sucks. i was wondering what kind of polish you all use for cleaning these kind of wheels. i am prob. going to use my pc to clean them as well. any help would be appreciated. thanks in advance

MobileJay - I'd second the recommendation for the powerball, actually more for the powerball mini, which has an extension and gets in more crevices/spokes etc. Mother's billet polish works well but is pricey.

Definitely invest in a PowerBall and Power Metal Polish for a job that big. A Flitz would work well too.

Finish with Mothers Mag/Aluminum, or Billet if you're not happy with the final finish of the Powerball (but you'll probably be fine with it).

Good luck, thats a huge job.

i've seen the power ball but not really heard much about it. whats a flitz? the power ball ive seen at autozone comes with a polish to use, is that different from the mag/aluminum or billet that you are talking about?
