I have 17 inch wheels with polished lips. They are not coated, so I need to be careful about washing/cleaning them so as to not scratch them. Nevertheless, I have noticed some scratching to the finish which makes them a little less polished looking. I have been told that Mother's polishing compound will remove minor scratches along with quite a lot of elbow grease. Having tried to remove some scratches to the polished aluminum windshield frame using Mother's, I have decided that I need to get yet another power tool to polish the aluminum on my car. Maybe someone else can recommend the proper procedure and tool(s) to use for polishing relatively small surfaces like rims and windshield frames.
