what i do to get the extra shine on my rims is to use Mothers Mag & Aluminum Polish. it took me about almost 2+ hours to get all the rims look shiny. it took alot of time but its really worth it. also, i had to polish it w/ my own hands. i found out that you can get an drill and something else, like a cloth wrapped around a metal rod and you put it in the drill or something like thatand just polish it away, will save you alot of time though. it works really well, just make sure you wash the rims first, to get all of the dirt off, then use that. just letting you know about what i do to get extra shine on my rims.

You guys should check out my Obsessive Detail Metal Rx metal polish and the Wheel Seal. The Metal Rx will bring your aluminum,chrome,stainless, etc back to life. The Wheel Seal cleans, adds more shine, plus adds a layer of protection. Brake dust will come off with ease after using the Wheel Seal.
