Would Flitz work good on a polished aluminum wheel lip with chrome spokes? My TTII's have some brake dust/stains etched into the lip, but the chrome spokes are spot-free. I have tried the mothers billet polish, and while it helps it doesnt get all of it out. :help2:

it should but without seeing the damage to your wheels i cant guarantee anything. if all else fails use the Flitz with a dremel and some polishing bits. ive had incredible results using that method :thumb:

post some pics if you have them.

This is what the damage on my wheels look like. Basically when it rains water collects on the lip, if there is any dirt/brake dust and the water dries it leaves marks like this. It is embedded into the wheel, and I cannot feel anything when I drag my fingernail across it. When I break out the Mothers Billet polish every m onth or so it gets rid of 80% of it, but there is still some that WILL NOT come out.

You think this stuff will work?

That should buff out with a good polish, by the sounds of it this stuff works well so I think yes it will work. You can get "samples" on ebay for like $5.99 free shipping if you dont wanna spend the money on a bunch.

it may take more than one application but in most cases it works first time. do like Matt said and grab a sample. IMO its the best and easiest to work with metal polish on the market.
