Quick Tips
Jake Rupp from Dayton, PA says: "Sometimes when you finish polishing the Aluminum wheels, it can look a little hazy from the polish. An easy trick for this is to use some baking flour on a rag. Just apply a little flour onto a rag and rub out the wheel. This will leave the wheel shining brightly!" Stacey's Comments: ? This is one of the best kept secrets of professional detailers. Believe it or not, this really works. For best results use a very fine white flour (sifted), but not whole wheat, and Viva brand paper towels if you can find them.
