I bought me a set of boyd coddington smoothie II's and they need a good polish job!
Any tips on how to get the best look on them?
Thanks ahead of time!

 

I used Adams metal polish 1 & 2 on my centerlines and they came out looking like fresh chrome!

Inappropriate thread title.

 

 

That crap always happens to me^^^^ lmao.
Damn blackchev... good job. U do it by hand or ******* power all? Or what'd u use?

 

Did it all by hand with the Adams stuff. First cleaned them off with just some warm water and a soft towel. Then used a micro fiber to apply Metal Polish 1 and wiped off with a double soft micro fiber. Did the same process with Metal Polish 2. The wheels usually will look pretty good after that. But to make them POP I use a hex grip applicator and some Briliant Glaze, let it haze, then a double soft to buff it out.

I try doing that twice a year. Any other time I just wash them off with the car shampoo and then wipe them down with detail spray.

The main thing with bare aluminum is to use as soft as a towell as you can. They get hazy quick with cheap micros.

 

Post pics of them. Hard to tell ya how to do it unless we can see the actual depth and stages of oxidation

 

There, reworded it for you so the title is a little less

 

^^ thank u sir!
Ill pist pics later tonight if i get time! Ive got them looking a lot better! I in ran out of patience after working on them for 4 consecutive night.
