I have alum wheels and bought a flitz ball to clean them with. I work at a NAPA and bought Blue Max chrome polish and it worked great. My truck is at the car show in the park right now but I will take pics tonight adn post them. The olny thing with a flitz is that is has to be wet and then rung out real well.

Re: flitz polish

I use California Customs purple polish but they also make a green polish for heavy oxidation. By far the best I have ever tried. My dad did his polished grill this week and now he wants me to get him a bottle!
