Default Mothers PowerCone doing work!

Getting my ride ready for BOS this coming Saturday and the wheels needed a polish BADDDD! Grabbed a Mothers PowerCone and went to town on the lip. This thing is awesome. I cant get deep into the lip towards the rivets but it did an excellent job overall. I highly recommend this tool. Have a lil 3 min vid i made as well http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XS7hPUXySyQ See you guys Saturday

That's awesome! Always been hesitant about putting polish on my wheels, have only cleaned them with soap and water thus far...wasn't really sure what polish Work wheels could withstand without damage.

What polish you use?

if they are clearcoated, i wouldn't use any metal polish. just use a good ph-balanced wheel cleaner(P21S wheel cleaner) and a soft bristle brush(i use a ez detail brush).

then use a sealant.


if your wheels are not clearcoated, use a metal polish e.g. nev-r-dull or meguiar's mag & aluminum polish. then finish with a sealant to prevent oxidation, etc.

Meguiars has an All Wheel Spray Cleaner but i havnt used it yet personally. I just cleaned the powercone so i might go at the spokes with the cone to see how well they clean in between them tomorrow.

I used this but Mothers also has their own formula, im pretty sure they will give the same results.
