Hand Polishing
 
My question concerns the hand polishing of aluminum or magnesium wheels. (Not KMP bodies)
We all have our favorite polishes and that's not what I 'm after.
Can anyone tell me about the black build-
up that accumulates on the rag when APPLYING the polish.
Should it continue to be rubbed in or should the rag be changed to a clean section constantly? I know that removing polish always requires a clean section of rag.
Someone posted a great tip a while back about removal. Toilet paper. I've adapted that technique and love it . Works great.
Appreciate any techniques you care to share.:confused:

Whether it is billet or sheet, aluminum will produce a black residue as you polish. The polishes I have used all said to polish until a black residue is produced and wipe clean.

toilet paper? I would just make sure it's a soft cotton type, you don't want to use anything abrasive that would introduce scratches.
