Default Flitz metal polish for aluminum wheels

I used Flitz metal polish on my TT2's and it's is pretty damn amazing. the rims were in that state of constantly looking "dirty" even frsh from the car wash and I used that flitz stuff and now they look better than chrome. Has anyone else used this?

There's the before and after pics. you can't tell a big difference on the pics because it's shitty cell phone quality lol but trust me it was a big improvment. My dad got the stuff at sema in vegas but i found some on ebay for like 40-50 dollars for a 2lb can. it last a while. it just called "flitz metal polish"

I love this stuff. I polished the front of my heads (the part that is machined flat) and it came out so well that I can see my reflection on my head lol.

if you have caked on brake dust or just hard to remove grime,
you can use flitz and #0000 steel wool ( found at home depot in the wood refinishing area )

I used mothers on my rims every week for like a year and it didn't do shit. first time I used the flitz it made the rims look BETTER than when I bought them. I expected the stuff to be good but not this good lol.
