What products are you all using to detail out rims and remove all the debris on them. Considering putting them back on soon but want the as clean as possible before i do that. How are those powerball attachments for drills?

http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-411-adam ... brush.aspx

depending on what kind of rim they are i can suggest a few things to make them pop.

after you get them cleaned up follow it up with these 2 things

first use this to get rid of minor scratching

and this to give it some pop

http://www.adamspolishes.com/p-525-adam ... glaze.aspx

and you will get a reflection like this

My wheels are chrome, I soak a chunk of steel wool with "Flitz" wax, go over them lightly then buff it off. If you go this route, take care in NOT putting any pressure as the only thing keeping you from micro marrring the finish is the liquid wax.

I'll get pictures next time I do it.
