So which metal polish is best for stubborn stains? I have one rim that has spots from sadly I guess, that I cannot get off with mothers and a power wheel!

The I liked best are Flitz and Simichrome, but they are tough to work with.. Take a good amount of elbow grease. Recently I was using Adam's which is a two stage polish.

I also used this really cool stuff called Zoops Seal.. I went a good six months with out having to polish them at all. It took a lot of prep work and down time while the stuff cured. It was some kind of ceramic sealant. I let it go as it closer to winter and then never applied again.

Default 35" tires for sale?

Sorry to (sorta) change the subject, but a buddy of mine is looking for 35's for a TJ he's about to buy. Anyone looking to sell and/or know someone who is?
Thanks

Yup, there's a can of Neverdull on the shelf in the garage.. I used that on a lot of stuff, but I didn't like working with it for polishing the wheels. I gravitated towards the water soluble stuff because I needed to polish the lips every week or so and most of the polishes rendered the rags useless.. P21s makes a nice product too. Water soluble and doesn't stain your fingers or rags.

I've also used tons of polishes on the BBS wheels from the old VW. Neverdull was always a good go-to but I loved the Adams metal polish (stg 1 & 2) speaking of Adams they make some great products. Either of you guys ever use WD40 and 0000 steelwool?
