Default Water Spots on My polished wheels........

I have some water spots on my polished centerlines that mothers billet polish will not bring out. Anybody else have an idea of what to use to get them out? Thanks!

All I can say is that these Centerline wheels are a pain in the ***! I am using the Eagle 1, nad it works good, but you have to work the **** out of it. I owuld also like to see what the general consensus is.

I love the mothers billet polish it is very easy, little messy though and it does a good job. I know grippy actually used a dremel to polish his intros but i DON"T wanna have to go that far.

MZOOMORA--are you using that never dull ****?

I Dont Know About The Centerlines ........but On My Wheels (billet Alum.) I Got Some Bad Spots In Them From Driving 2000 Miles. I Got Home And Took Them Off Wet Sanded Them With Like 400 Grit Paper Then Polished The **** Out Of Them. They Looked Better Then The Day I Got Them. Also Try Using, I Think Its Called Zoops Sealant After Polishing.

No, its the Eagle 1 billet polish. Comes in almost the same container as the Mothers. Probably the same ****.

It is the white pasty stuff. That wadding polish is 70's ****. You use it with a cloth. That old **** was nothing but kerosene soak fabric I thought anyway.

Eagle 1 told me they quit making it. I still have some and loved it until I found some stuff called Southern Shine while I was in Florida. Messy and green, but best thing I have ever found. Took me about 2 hours to get all 4 wheels looking new. Lasts about 3 months of every day all weather driving. Then reapplies easily, like 30 min for all 4.
