eagle. yes the wheel cleaner is the fx, and the polish is mag and aluminum polish. i also have a product called master formula metal gloss, that i bought at a rod and custom car show. its seems to work well. but i have only used it on my truck wheels. its a 2 step process.you use the polish and them a sealer afterwards.. they have a web site www. master-formula. or www.masterpolish.com its a little expensive though... good luck kerry
