[DeTomaso] Suggested best polish for newish rims

Tue Jun 25 15:47:50 EDT 2024

I agree with Scott on his more detailed process, but I haven't tried the Nu Finish on wheels. I Finish with the Maguire Aluminum Wheel Polish. Its Kind of the same idea and process with a different last step.

Hi Terry,
Here's the routine I do for polishing my Marino Perna Campi clones...
First off, get yourself a PowerCone 360 and PowerBall Mini from
Mothers, as well as a tub of their Ultimate Mag and Aluminum Polish.
After thoroughly cleaning and drying the wheels, use a liberal amount
of the polish with your drill set on the high speed setting. The foam
cone works great getting into the crevices while the mini ball is
perfect for the flats and large wheel "windows." Before the polish
starts to dry, wipe/polish with microfiber towels. Once the wheel is
gleaming, I then put on a coat of Nu Finish (yep, the once a year paint
polish), which enhances the shine and also keeps the wheels looking
like new for months.
Like you mentioned, caring for the wheels is a PITA, but the results
are well worth it!
Best,
Scott

No, it's bare aluminum. No clear coat.
I've polished them before, years ago. PITA. But was wondering if there
was anything better from you Pantera guru's
out there.

Might depend on if you are polishing aluminum or polishing a clear
coating over aluminum?

Years ago (2013 maybe, haven't found the invoice) I had Don Byars (RIP)
install new A-Arms,
shocks, springs and traded my old rims for some new 17" with new
rubber. $$ but WOW did
that make my Pantera ride like new.
But it's been sitting too long in storage and now I need to polish the
rims again. Along with 100
other things to do.
I believe the rims were the Campagnolo style Billet Aluminum wheels?
Correct me if I'm wrong.
What is the best polish to use to bring them back to life!
