very...especially these wheels. since the centers are bead blasted you cant polish them, and if you get anything on them its a pain to get out.
well worth it though!

Mothers Billet wheel polish , microfiber cloths and some flour the flour realllllly helps taking of the black residue and leaves a really clean shiny suface its also good to use latex gloves to apply the polish.

Do you mean it's good to wear them using the microfiber towel to apply polish or to put some polish on the glove and rub without a towel? I just want to make sure I understand what you're saying! Thanks!
