Wheel Polishing question?
Recently I bought some Phonedials in really good condition. I thought about hand polishing them myself with this product called "Wenol" Its comes in a blue tube , a red tube, and there's also a pink tube. It supposed to be a non-abrasive polish for all metals. Has anyone ever used this product! or refer me to another product that'll give me good results, before I decide to get them chromed which unfortunately will cost me much more.

I polished a pair of Ansen Sprints once by hand; they were machined finish and I wanted them to match a pair I had that were already polished. I started with 320 grit wet/dry paper and moved up from there; after 600 grit I used Wenol.
I will never do that again... nate
