[DeTomaso] Suggested best polish for newish rims

[Terry Himes]

Jim,

Yep. I will need more, so I will check out Xtreme Pinball Metal Polish.  And... Yep  my ZF needs to be 
Re-polished too!! I was SO beautiful when I got it back from Don Byars and got it installed.  (Thanks Dan)

I think I have the same wheels. Mine are not at the point where they need any more than this:


- Klasse All-in-One (which I also use on the sheet metal) followed by
- Klasse sealant (also used on the sheet metal)
On the sheet metal, I follow the above with a coat of Carnuba Wax.


In between, I use 'The Solution' to clean and polish instead of washing for the sheet metal, glass, and wheels.


When the wheels need more, my intent is to use Xtreme Pinball Metal Polish (can get @ Amazon)) which is what was used to originally polish the ZF Transaxle.


Mine sits in storage for around 6 months each year in a Car Capsule so the wheels, sheet metal, and glass are just as good when I take it out as when I put it in - and it is not exposed to any dirt or caustic materials while stored.

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!
