Hey guys,

Currently I hand polish my wheels with White Diamond (used to use Mothers Billet Aluminum). Results are pretty good, but honestly it takes way too damn long...like several days

Well, here they are last time I cleaned them a few years ago

Here they are recently after washing with Iron X...sorry for the crappy photo

So how should polish them going forward? I was contemplating something like this attached to an angle grinder 10" Yellow Medium Buff 5/8 Arbor 3" Center (http://www.shop.truckpolisher.com/10-Yellow-Air-Way-Polishing-Buff-90030.htm)

Basically got the idea from this guys YouTube videos https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=4HtWbGex3k4

Would also consider smaller kits, maybe something that attaches to a corded drill? I`ve used a Mothers PowerBall before, its trash

I`ve got a 4.5" angle grinder, so I`d likely need a smaller wheel?

Have you considered the Flitz ball?

I think it`ll disappoint like the Mothers PowerBall
