Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

What are the chances that this cleaning solution will be released as a standalone product as a general foam pad cleaner?

The chances are very good indeed.

Awesome...I'm assuming that means it can be used on foam D/A pads also?

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

My Mother's polishing cone has not impressed me because the tip of the cone is too soft. Can you compare this cone, and it's firmness, to the other polishing cones from Mother's (or other brand's).

The cleaner was specifically designed for removal of oxidized aluminum that was removed in the polishing process, and for this foam. We don't recommend it for use with our Soft Buff 2.0 pads although we know many will try it. Remember, the foam cell construction of this cone is not the same as that of our Soft Buff 2.0 yellow pad.

This one is pretty firm but what's really nice about it is that taper on the base of the cone. You can use that on the lip of a wheel too, and it makes it much easier to pull the cone back out through the opening between the spokes after polishing deeper into the wheel.

As for anything more specific on the firmness of the DynaCone versus the Mother's piece you'll have to wait until tomorrow. I've got a Mother's cone at home and can make a direct comparison for you then. I've got an Open Garage session tonight so I won't be back home until late tonight.

Ah, okay thanks. What do you guys recommend for cleaning the Soft Buff 2.0 pads then? I haven't been able to find that anywhere.

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

would this kit be useful at all on trying to polish OEM clear coated wheels or will there be no difference beings their CC

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

This really is designed for polishing bare metal - the foam on the DynaCone is specially designed for that purpose, not paint, and obviously so is the All Metal Polish included in the kit.

For clear coated wheels you're better off using something like SwirlX by hand, or even ColorX.

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

ok now, what about my stainless steel exhaust tip and stainless steel weight and support plates on my mud flaps

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

I would buy this kit, if I had REAL wheels on my car.

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

Here's a shot of the DynaCone side by side with the Power Cone. You can't really see it here but the Power Cone is sitting angled up a the tip so it kind of looks longer than the upper portion of the DynaCone but it's really only about 1/4" taller than that section of the DynaCone.

The longer shaft on the DynaCone is also collared so you can hold and support it while the cone is spinning and it doesn't get hot. The extra length allows you to easily reach deeper into the wheels between the spokes.

As to the question about firmness of the DynaCone relative to the Power Cone - the increase in firmness is substantial with the DynaCone and you don't feel the hardware inside it as easily either.

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

Hhmm, thanks for the comparison Michael. I'll have to keep that in mind while I'm reading everyones reviews as they stream in.

Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

Just looking at that pic, the Megs DynaCone looks like the superior tool.

Thanks for sharing Mike
