Removing light water spots from polished iForged wheel lips?

ProPedderKustom · 08-22-2008, 09:10 PM

Despite the extreme care I put into keeping my car clean, I still seem to have some minor water spots on the polished aluminum lips of my iForged wheels. How should I go about taking them off? I assume a very light abrasive polish and some elbow grease?

Thanks for your help.

Im rockin' Iforged too and for the same problem, I use Mothers polish.
Its in a small red/white can that you dip it out with a rag and apply elbow grease.

***after you wash your car, you have to take a spounge and put it on the inner barrel of the rim
and soak up the water. If you dont, it will find its way to the lip. also, when you get home from the
carwash, you have to spot dry em again to avoid those PITA spots!

Good luck!

l use the "Fine Hand Polish" from Griots, with a good terry pad. It works great on wheels, especially for water spots, and scuff marks.

Mothers billet polish works wonders, the onlyyy stuff i used on the lips. DO NOT get them on any part of the wheel that has a clear coat.
