any wheel/tire shop sells it....
my cousin bought some good **** at a BIG TRUCK (RIG) accessorie place, I dont know the name of it but it is like a rock, you chip some of it off and put it like in a quart of gasoline and let it dissolve, then you just put it on a rag and start applying it on the wheel then go back real quick and take it off with a dry cloth it leaves them looking good!!! I had always used xtreme before but this **** works alot better and alot faster...

i hink that rock is called "rogue" or something like that. Yeah big rig trucks use them all the time. i used to use that rock or extreem cotton thingy on my polished wheels. The hard part is to keep the shine on!

Power ball has never worked for me. Tried it four times and it just did a so-so job.
Mothers billet worked better.
Never dull works ok but is not very strong.
The best thing I have found comes in a plastic jar and looks like pink cotton candy. It is wet like neverdull. Sorry I can't remember the name. It is storming bad outside now and I don't feel like getting wet to check. I'll post up tomorrow.
Those wheels as such a pain to keep shiney!

The stuff is called Excalibur metal polish and the label says it is made in the USA, Ontario California. I bought it from a friend who told me he got it from Cal Customs.
Works real well but is very messy, some latex or nitrile gloves help alot. Still requires elbo grease though.

I bought some Diamond-Brite metal polish (by Better-Built) from the local Lowe's that works really well; like Calbo said, "Works real well but is very messy, some latex or nitrile gloves help alot. Still requires elbo grease though." Lots & lots of elbow grease (or careful use of a Dremel)!
