Fine compounding/polishing
Has anyone every used jeweler's rouge, blue or green compound on aluminum wheels ? Just wondering what your results were like.
Oh Ya' Which polish do you guys use to stop oxidation ? I have Zaino but, I'm not sure which one to use.
Thanks in advance.

I have CCW Aluminum wheels and drive my car in the winter sometimes. The road salt can get the wheels really nasty. So nasty that Ive had to start with 400 grit wet and dry and work my way up to 2000 grit. After that, any paste aluminum polish will work wonders. Ive used semichrome polish with good results.
