I just bought a Flitz buff ball and try it out, it is amazing, took me 15 minutes to polish one wheel, here is the result.

 

Sweet!
&nbsp\\;
I have wheels with powder coating on them, suppose it would come off with that?

 

It does a lot more than polishing aluminum, click here

 

too bad you dint have a b4 pic to compare em.it looks good tho!

 

Yeah, I should take before/after pictures, it was like crap before I polished, especially the brake rotor side, you are not going to believe how much black I removed from the wheels, the buff ball was totally black after one use.

 

Ooohhh...Shiney...&nbsp\\; Now you gotta get rid of those reflectors on the lower forks.&nbsp\\;

 

Wheels look great. Did you have to spray anything on them first before buffing them? Can you buy the Flitz buff ball at your local auto part store?&nbsp\\; Awesome job. &nbsp\\; Ray

 

I bought it from a local parts store (Napa), I bought the Flitz polish as well. Here is how I did it, I wash the wheel with strong cleaner, rinse it off right away, air blow dry the wheel, apply Flitz polish and work with a low rpm electric drill, after the wheel became shinny, then apply mother polish by hand and buff it. I will do a better job with the wheels off the bike but this Flitz ball does get into tight spot.

 

I will take them off this winter when I polish the lower forks.

 

Now that you have polished them, treat them to a couple of coats of "wheel guard" from the chemical guys.
