  • Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
  • Today I test 8 different polishing products on very dull aluminum wheels to see which polishes give the best shine. This video is an honest review and is NOT sponsored by ANY of these products or companies. Spoiler alert- they're all great products, but as we'll see, some work better than others depending on application and level of dullness/corrosion of the aluminum.
    Products used:
    Mothers 5 oz: amzn.to/3DEUGfk
    Blue Magic 7 oz: amzn.to/3HVpGdr
    Chemical Guys Light 16 oz: amzn.to/3Y0V8N5
    Chemical Guys Heavy 16 oz: amzn.to/3Y2lVsl
    Alcoa: www.alcoawheels.com (discontinued?)
    Flitz 1 lb: amzn.to/3Ryzr4c

    Another good video and comparison. And I love your wall of wheels that I didn't know you had! Especially the Ronal R9's 😍. I haven't polished anything in a long time but Mothers was my favorite back then. Cheers

    I am a huge fan of FLITZ been using it for years & with there buff ball it makes my wheels look even better faster.

      I was surprised how well the Flitz did on the wheels, since it works on so many other types of metals.
      I will look into their buff ball!

    So would you say flitz is worth the money, or go mothers and a polishing wheel

    • @6thGearGarage
      @6thGearGarage  Год назад +2

      The flitz was worth it, but so was the mothers. Both were a great option. I think mothers + a polishing wheel will save time though.

    Can you clay bar an aluminum wheel before polishing?

      Yes you could but I’m not sure how much difference it would make. It would be a good experiment.

      Mothers has always been my go-to polish, but I've had great results in following up with blue magic and a coat of carnuba wax after.
