I've used several and they're all pretty similar but California Customs is my favorite.

Many good brands, but I like either Simichrome (for quick polishing) or Adams two stage metal polish (for heavy-duty cleaning with a protective mirror finish).

I use both a Mother's mini power ball and a power cone. I wrap them in T-shirt strips because I don't want to have to clean them.

This is all I use now. I've tried many of the polishes on the market, and found the Adam's two-step to be one of the best to use.

I have used Semichrome for years on my Motorcycle! Takes the blue off the exhausts! Use it regularly on the Vette as well. You can purchase with a kit from vendor on this website or most all motorcycle shops stock it

Good tip-I will try that. I use Mothers on my bare aluminum wheels.

This has been great on my chrome wheels. The best shine of anything I've ever used.
