Wow, picky, picky.
It's hard to tell you whaty is tyhe best product without knowing what wheels you are talking about.
Mags? Aluminum? Chrome? Polished? Machined?

 

lol. im picky with my cars, women and pics lol and there i fi**ed it. i bought some ansen sprints.

 

You'll spend hours doing it with hand tools and regular polishes. Been there done that, and they'll look mediocre.
Look in the phone book for metal polishing.
I gotta guy out here that does a set of skinnies for about $60. When he's done, they look like chrome.

 

Professional polishing shop. After that, you can keep them looking good with Mothers Billet polish.

 

When Ansen Sprint wheels were made, they had an as-machined finish. You could restore that with abrasives.

You can read a bit about your wheels and refinishing them here:

What's your goal? - Shiny-smooth or the original machined finish?

 

no pics.
sand the wheels with 240 wet or dry. - then go over them with 320 or 400. then i use 600 or ?? something fine. --- then get a white polish wheel on your die grinder & a pack of multi grade compound (black,white,gray,brown) read the back of the pack it'll tell you which compounds for aluminum. start polishing & you will get dirty but they will polish out nice! ---- you,ll need 2 polish wheels as you dont wanna mix your compounds on 1 wheel the wheels will never shine.

 

i want shinny. but my mind can be changed with the right pics.

 

thank you helped alot

 

There's a fairly new product out there the trucker's use on their aluminum rims called "Purple". I hear it's the best.
