How to shine centerline wheels?
 
How can I do it or what can I do to make them shine up real good? Any suggestions?

use a 'Power Ball'

I use Mother's Billet polish with a Power Ball and a terry cloth for the hard to reach spots and final polishing. I find it easier to do it with the wheel off the truck so you can take off the centercaps and don't have lug nuts to deal with. Makes them look better than chrome, but it takes a while.

i have mothers power ball and mothers polish that works OK. yesterday i used x-treem metal polish for the first time and its so much easier and faster. i cant really tell a difference over the power ball.

ive used wenol before. its a 3 step process and will leave your fingertips raw by the end of one wheel. mothers is better than wenol IMO. paste polishes are pretty messy too.
