cool, thanks everyone. I'm probably gonna try the Mother's power ball thing, Chip Foose likes it so it must be good right? lol.....it is definately a PAIN to do it by hand though, not looking forward to doing that again.

bs to your bs...Just where do you watch people do this "all the time"? I used it in the Spring to clean up after the winter salty roads, soap and water won't do the trick around here. Worked great, waxed 'em up, good as new. Haven't used it again since and they are perfect. If all you've ever used is soap and water than you don't drive on salty roads or your wheels are clearcoated. What you have to make sure of is that your rims don't have a clearcoat on them, if they do then the neverdull will take it off.

As for polished aluminum exposed to road salt or sea spray, unless you wash it with soap and water every day AND wax it it too will eventually get spots and pit/tarnish. Simple chemistry....
So I'm still missing out on how never dull will cause bare polished aluminum to tarnish any quicker than bare aluminum washed with soap and water. Go get a couple pieces of tarnished aluminum and wash one with soap & water and polish the other with never dull, let me know which one looks better when your done. Nice try sailor!

NeverDull FTW!!! I just got done using it on all of my wheels and man that's a big difference. ALOT more shiny, and took out all of those nasty looking spots I had on there. At only $4 a can, it's cheap as hell too.....

If your talkin polished aluminum the best polish is called Brooklyn Ballbuster. It is home made by a guy from Brooklyn. I have been polishin big trucks for years and this in the best stuff. You can find it at any truck chrome shop or search it on google its there. Heres a little proof.

Neverdull is awesome on all polished metals, Mother's Mag & Wheel works well, Wenol seems to work a little better than the Mother's, then hit it with SEMICHROME to finish poishing it up. Us the Powerball Mini on a pneumatic cutoff, this always works great, and it takes some of the "elbow grease" out of the equation. Hope this helps for the future......
