I have a set of eagle 058 polished aluminum wheels. Some how they got surface scratches on them. How can i polish them out? I have tried mothers mag/aluminm, turtle wax, duragloss, eagle one. I have not tried to use a high speed buffer just with a rag.
 
I think most of the folks on here (myself included) have too much rockrash on their wheels to polish out
 
Those wheels probably have a clear coat over them. So you wont be able to polish it out unless you get all the clear coat off. Look then up and see if they do.
 
yea theres this pink stuff they sell at certain places. ask a trucker with nice wheels they might be able to point you in the right direction. its expensive but it deff. works. plus it comes in like a 60 oz. bottle

and how good they look depends on how long you take. did mine once and wont do it again for a long time. but i found the best way to do them with a powerball is get a powerball and a cone (alternate). take the wheel off and do them then. makes for a better angle. im running 15x10 and i couldnt get the ball in the front wheels because of the hubs
 
Flitz, we use it on the leading edges of the aircraft.
 
Zepher Pro 40 find it most larger truck stops at about $20 a bottle. has the grit and ammonia it that polishes so well. did a set of mickey t 16x10s with it in under an hour on the truck. works with a powerball too(just slings everywhere)
