This container I have in only about 6 months old. I bought it for the valve covers on my S10 becasue I had heard good things about it. Now all I see in the stores is the "Mag and aluminum polish". It looks the same, but who knows....
I will have to try that stuff you use, this polishing makes me sick.

I emailed them because I wanted to buy some more and that's what they told me. Discontinued. Wonder if they brought it back.

Also Try Using, I Think Its Called Zoops Sealant After Polishing.
So how do I wet sand them??? Do i just wet the wheels and the 400grit paper and then sand them like a piece of wood??? How hard do I want to sand and how often????? thanks

Just Sand Enough To Get The Water Spots Out. Get A Bucket Of Soapy Water And Soak The Paper In It And Start Goin Away At It. Always Be Sure To Keep Your Wheels And Paper Wet To Be Sure You Dont Mess Up The Wheels. When Done Use A Good Polish And Sealant.

Ive mentioned this many times, but I live in Fl (salty air) and my wheels get hit by sprinklers pretty frequently and I use Gord's and Ive never had to spend much time cleaning them. I really like this stuff.
