Thats the three things I used.LOL. I think with a little more time they could get even brighter, this was pretty quick on each one.

easy work try mine with all the nooks and crannys, omg! I hate polishing but the powerball does speed up the job quite a bit. Personally I think polished aluminum has one of the nicest finishes and color. Chrome is so techno....harsh and with no personality while polish is warm and rich.

Looks Good,
Throwing some flour on them when your ready to take off the black residue really really helps out alot.

I keep staring at them thinking how much better they look. Might have to do this more often.

I have never cleaned my big powerball. Still works great. This was done with the powerball mini.I bought it the other day to fit in some of tighter spots.
