    Re: Wheel Polishing Kit

    After doing 1 wheel and getting the cone dirty/black....do you recommend cleaning the cone befor doing the other 3 wheels? Or, can we clean all 4 and then clean the cone?

      You should be able to polish all four wheels before cleaning the cone.

        I guess it will also depend on how bad off the wheel is as well

          Can this be used on factory coated wheels?

            No. This is for bare, uncoated metal only.

              What if you used the DynaCone with a different product other than the metal polish - say ColorX?

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                We wouldn't recommend it since the foam was designed specifically for metal polishing. While it may be the same color as the foam of our Soft Buff 2.0 polishing pads, that's where the similarity ends. There is a very high probability that you'll haze a painted wheel, or worse.

                Of course, we know that someone somewhere some time is going to experiment - just know that you will be doing so at your own risk.

                      Anyone used this yet?

                      I pickup up the kit yesterday at Walmart for $23. I plan on using it soon on some aluminum wheels that are in pretty tough shape. I will post pics of how it goes...

                          I remember seeing this thread some time ago and I forgot about this product. I wonder why I have not seen it much. I could definitely for both set of my mesh rims. Those are a PAIN to clean.

                          Good question. I too would wonder what to use on a rim that has a polished lip and a painted face.

                            Tell us a bit more about these wheels - are the spokes painted or powder coated? Is the lip bare metal or clear coated? If everything is painted and clear coated then our Hot Rims All Wheel Cleaner should be safe on them. One of my cars has aftermarket wheels with painted spokes and polished lips, but the entire wheel is clear coated and I've used All Wheel Cleaner and even Wheel Brightener on them with no problems.

                            If your spokes are powder coated and/or the lips are bare metal, then either stick with our Hot Rims Aluminum Wheel Cleaner or just soap and water. If the lip is NOT clear coated then a metal polish should be used to bring gloss up to a maximum level, but if they have a clear coat a metal polish is a poor choice and you're better off with just a light paint cleaner when needed and a bit of wax.

                                can u use lightcleaner n wax on the spokes?

                                i had a different set of wheels with black spokes n a polished lip like that before
                                and i used mothers mag&aluminum polish on the lip about 5 times with fanastic results,but i didnt know if it was clearcoated n if i was stripping off the clear slowly
