    My car had been sitting in my backyard neglected for around a month so i decided to wash it...
    then i noticed my dish was all faded with like water stains on it i tried wash them clean but no cigar
    Obviously needs metal polish of some sort but what brand?
    what have you used in the past to get that shine back on your dish?

    If you can find some, its called purple polish, non abrasive and not hard work

    Hey Vivas use that mothers metal polish, cheap and works awesome.

    i also use that brite shine stuff before hand (yellow tin) and just takes off any stains, then just use the mothers stuff to polish it.
    Usually comes up awesome after that

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (tricky_dan @ Apr 17 2008, 09:28 AM) </div>neither, theyre both abrasive to the clear coat that polished aluminium wheels have from the factory

    use a metal polish, just go over and over and over, use a buffing disc if you have to

    or just shell out $20 or so a wheel and get a professional to do it

    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (kaibeecee @ Apr 17 2008, 09:03 AM) </div>Mind you if the rims have oxidised from washing or just sitting in the weather. Suggests to me they may need reclear coating as well.
