Then use the microfiber towel wipe that up. And see how quickly that's transformed mother's mag and aluminum polish. The product that started at all whether you're polishing up aluminium wheels brass.

And tug at the surface. I use the foam metal polishing cone for intricate wheels multi-spoke. Or mesh style. And it's great for barrels of deep dish wheels.

The pad washes are a good idea, as is hot water with a dish detergent like Dawn. Remove it from the hardware and submerge it in the solution - squeeze while underwater to fully absorb the solution, and several more times while under. Rinse well (while squeezing) and let dry, then reassemble.

3 stage is pretty much recommended for most cases as it removes most scratches and cleans out all the oxidation (faded look). That's compound, polish, then wax.

Using water with these pads keeps the resin cool and stops the pads overheating and burning out too quickly. The water also helps remove the waste material that is being “cut” by the polishing process in the form of a slurry.

Mothers cleaned that rust up fairly easily, with some rubbing, and seemed to also offer some protection for some time from the rust appearing again. Of course after applying the product, be sure to allow it to completely dry, before buffing.

The first is usually very aggressive, typically wet sanding or a heavy abrasive with a heavy cut pad, like M105 and a MF cut pad. 2nd stage is to refine the heavy cut, so something like a low abrasion compound or a more aggressive polish, and the 3rd stage being fine polish.

You can wash your car after polishing it but I'm not sure this will get all the dust particles. Just go over the polished car with a good panel wipe and a soft microfiber, it should suffice.

Any mechanically polished metal suffers a profusion of scratches, metal debris, and abrasives embedded in its surface. And any finishing processes that use abrasives, cutting, or burnishing, even if it's just a small area, will distort the metal surface.

To remove light rust, leave parts in the solution for 1-3 hours. To remove heavy rust, leave parts in the rust removal solution overnight. Do not use on parts that have bluing, browning or protective oxide paints, as those protective coatings would be removed.
