Hey everyone got a question. What do I use to polish these wheels with to make them look like chrome? I have seen lots of polished wheels that have been polished to look like chrome.

Thanks

Mother's polish works well. Some swear by Flitz.

Arn't the MB wheels clear coated machined aluminum? If they are, you cannot polish them.

There is a metal polish out there called Magic Mix. Last time I got it out of L.A. city of Industry I think. I believe you can also get it from some Truck accessory shops. It is a 2 part polish first acid wash & then polish. After polishing rims since I was 18, I used just about everything out there. This is by far the easiest & best shine! Now I try to go Chromes!):h

check out the mothers powerball.... its this foam ball you attach to a power drill, and they have this special polish you use with it. its works surprisingly well, and cuts down polishing time significantly!
