Need a great Wheel/Exhaust LSP

[John_K]

Hey everyone,



I am in desparate need for some wheel / exhaust tip polish. Fortunately, I haven`t ran across any exhaust tips that couldn`t be cured with basic stuff, but I am sure in due time I will get a car with aftermarket exhaust that needs some serious products to bring it up to speed! The same goes for wheels.



Anyways, I have seen Optimum Metal Polish, Chemical Guys Wheel Wax, etc. and I am completly unsure what to get. On my fiance`s car, she has chrome and it likes to spot up a lot and I`d like to know what would be the best method to remove the spots. Also, is there a difference between a polish/wax when it comes to wheels, or do both accomplish the same objective?



I have D103 APC, and ONR, but I need a great LSP for wheels and exhaust. I have searched around and found a few ideas which I mentioned above, but I`d like to get a few opinions on what is good enough to use on your car and a customers.



Thanks again all for the great advice. This really is a great forum.

DG 105 is bery dirable and inexpensive. Optimum Metal Polish is very good. I use it then apply DG 601 and let it haze. Then I apply DG105. This is superior to anything else I have used. I have chrome wheels BTW. Also works great on exhaust tips.

Thanks for the suggestion. I have been looking around and I have boiled it down to these three, but I think I will be running with P21S Metal polish. Here are the links... Suggestions?

P21S Metal polish for the tips.



It`s almost like saddle soap where you dampen the supplied sponge and wipe off the product unto the sponge. Apply, and either rinse or buff off-makes the water bead- so there`s some type of protection thats left.



On your wheels you need to be careful. A metal polish may scratch/swirl any clear coat or PVD finish on the wheels-even some chrome wheels are coated-just ask Ram truck owners. Test spot first.



I would tend to treat almost any wheel as a painted surface.
