Thread: BBS Polished Wheels

    BBS Polished Wheels

    Right, a while back someone was telling me about a 'flapper' style attachment for a drill that saves your pinkies from all that polishing. I guess you just apply the polish to the 'flapper' and away you go. Mirror finish in minutes.

    Could some kind soul please enlighten me if this is indeed true and if it is a lifesaver for the polished wheel community, or am I living in hope?

    I use something like the above. I use meguairs metal polish in the small purple tub after. Megs is the best out of peek and autosol. Haven't tried any others but there's my 2 cents.

    I have the cone now, and wow a lot easier. Although they need to be a lot more frequent as the cone wont work too well on really grimy stuff!

    I think I paid €48 for the Cone which came in a kit with polish and cleaner at local motor factors. They did have to order it in but it was next day. Anyone who deals with Meguirs should be ok
