need some more help PLEASE.
I have the eagle alloy 058 polished aluminum wheels. Well somehow they have fine scratches in them. I guess from washing them. How do i get them out? I have tried mothers mag/aluminum polish, I have tried duragloss polish(the can with the wool). I went to advance and they let me try turtle wax, which didnt do it. I can get pics when it stops raining. I didnt know where to put this thread so if the mods need to move it, please do

if they are polished what you need to do is get your self a rouge wheel and rouge compound to polish them
you can use a drill or high speed buffer depending on size of the wheel you buy
but with some time you could make them look like chrome, also this is the same way they are polished at the factory
and if your wheels have deep marks in them use 600 1000 1200 grit sand paper and polish them out

I tried mothers aluminum polish last night and that didnt work. They told me to go to a pro and see what they recommend. Thats a good deal on that rouge stuff.
