I`m considering purchasing this bundle Detailed Image - high end auto detailing products, supplies and how-to articles (http://www.detailedimage.com/store/product_info.php?cPath=41_125&products_id=291)
I`m expecting to generally use the Gel and use the Polishing Soap to add an extra bling for higher end customers. Does it work well on non-chrome rims?

Do NOT use it on clear coated surfaces. It is abrasive. It contains a pumice. I use it for exhaust tips.
I use it for non automotive purposes like polishing brass and stainless steel.

Hmmm... I think I need to learn the difference between different types of surfaces. Any resources?

I use it all the time. It works wonders on stained exhaust tips and polished aluminum. Make sure that the surface isn`t coated with anything or this will remove some/all of said coating.

This is my go to product for polishing chrome. It produces a great finish, and with minimal effort.

so, save to use on chrome wheels? Even though chrome is a coating? Are there alot of 100% chromed wheels out there?

I think what they mean is that if the surface has been wet-cleared, then you should not use the polishing soap on it. However, since chrome is really a few different types of metals "on top" of each other (i.e., chromium, nickel, copper, zinc; the process involves cathodes that bond them to each other), they are not going to come off if you use the soap on it.
I think I could`ve worded that better but I`m beat! Sorry!

Yes, it is safe to use on chrome or any other bare metals.

Those are polished aluminum, right? I`ve never tried it on polished aluminum, only chrome, but I *have* used Blue Magic Liquid Metal Polish, and that works well to polish aluminum.
Polished aluminum is a total pain, imo. I had Bogarts on my mustang and had to polish them weekly or they would look horrible....drove me nuts!!

Yeah. Wolfgang just came out with some Aluminum polish. Might look into that. Its expensive though.
I tried the P21S on my kitchen sink also and still wasnt impressed.
