    Here`s a pic of the Torque Thrust wheels on my 69 stang. I used a metal polish from Hawaiian Island Shine on them, all done by hand.

    I use a combo of Mother`s Billet Cream and a cotton buffing wheel (3") attached to my variable drill. After getting the shine I want, I apply a heavy coat of Collinite paste wax to keep the shine somewhat protected.

    ppg and dupont make phosphoric acid that is diluted in water and used in spray bottle to clean the wheels, then use mothers billet polish, small buffing pad, microfibers to clean up. they also make chemicals to etch the wheel to repaint or reclear the wheel when done. check out the website www.por-15.com . they have paints you can use to "color " the chrome on rims. ive done it many times doing custom work on cars
