Hello-



I have polished factory wheels on my car from Porsche. They have been looking a bit cloudy so I used this product to help remove the oxidation.



It did pretty good, but there are still spots that need more attention. Do I need something with higher speed? Dremel with polish attachment? Different polish?



One problem is the power ball is the mini but not really small enough to get into the nooks and crannies of the wheel. Those are most of the areas that need more attention. Other areas just seem to need more time and polish to remove more oxidation.

Thoughts?

Have you tried the Power Cone from Mothers?

power cone should work better than the power ball. Products - Automotive aluminum and metal polish (http://www.englishcustompolishing.com/usca/automotive.html) is good polish i`ve use it by hand on my billet wheels.

What do you guys think about using a Dremel with this attachment and some metal polish like Mother`s?



The info about the attachment says that it can be used for polishing silver. Does that mean it will be OK for aluminum wheels?

What about a felt polishing tip?
