I certainly hope he wouldn't, just to rub Mother's on them. But like I already said, simply cleaning an oxidized wheel that's already previously been polished by rubbing it with Mother's is apples and oranges in comparison to taking a raw aluminum wheel to a mirror finish.

That's the one I'd use. The main difference between it and the standard Micromesh is that the metal version starts a little bit lower in grit but doesn't go quite as high. The standard kit finishes with a grit that's comparable to about 2,500 in regular sandpaper: way higher than you'd need to sand to be smooth enough to move onto buffing.

 

Get yourself a polish with some ( white Jewelers rough) in it.. Its an old truckers secret.. Really easy to use..
