I know the forum will see this, want to make sure the email members have a working URL. If not please let me know.

Polished the 4 rear wheels today, cleaned the inside of the wheels with Castrol Super Clean and #0 steel wool.

Side by side comparison. Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish, and a small Mothers Ball in a variable speed wired drill.

Nice job.

Is the one on the right polished on the inside?

No, I used Diluted Castrol Super Clean and #0 steel wool to clean the insides of the wheels before I polished them.

I am with you mike. That right wheel looks like it has been scratched up with a Brillo pad and ruined. Maybe I am not looking at it right. Can you show us a picture of it after you shine it up and tell us what you used on it?
I have found that once a finish has been restored Mothers Bullit works well.

Just to be clear about the photo that is posted, the wheel on the left is the completed wheel, the wheel on the right had not been touched yet and both wheels matched before I started.

I am done with all four of the rears, will be finishing the front 2 today after I am done with the drivers side front brake.
