I tried them all over the years. I like white diamond the best. Advance auto has it. If u ever see the ragman at swap meets, his polish is fantastic.

I use Purple on my semi truck fuel tanks and wheels. I have tried a lot of polishes over the years and have found that Purple holds the shine a little longer when exposed to the elements. They also have a cleaner that is green in color that you use before the polish stage. When the weather breaks I am going to try a new item called Sheen Genie, they have a cleaner as well as the polish.
416 stroker from Nick at Compu-flow. 11.14 in full street trim. Seems like a new best every time out. 11.06 open headers----so far!!

His polish works pretty good. The only issue I have with it is that is a chemical that strips the oxidation & does not leave any protection on the wheel. I use Flitz. You can buy it online. Only have to use it one to two times a year. It leaves a protective film, kinda like wax on paint.

Cab...If they're polished up nice already the White Diamond will work good. It leaves a bit of a film behind to help protect it too. If they're still a little rough you may want to use something a little more abrasive. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif)
