One of my favorite is that shiny polish/anodized finish on those deep dish wheels. I just used metal gloss and wow this is my favorite compound by far. Cost $40 for 12oz which is pretty steep so looking for better alternatives.

I have coated polished lips. I use Optimum polish and the Mothers Power Cone. Then I put a coat of wax on it. They glow afterwords. I need to takes some before and after shots sometime.

Honestly what ever I have handy. I have some Collinite 845, some NXT, some Armor-all Butter something or other. Never anything expensive. I wash the car at least once a week and polish the wheels once every month to month and a half. My car is a daily driver and takes lots of abuse from road grime.

Mothers also makes a great polish and they have the powerball that can be cleaned and reused over and over... The results have been quite difference by using it...
