whats the best aluminum polish for a set of welds?

Get one of the Mother's PowerBalls, some Mother's polish, and an electric drill and have at it.

I've tried to polish my Welds by hand and it takes forever and never got really shiny. The PowerBall got it a lot more brilliant in a lot less time.

Or remove wheels (and centercaps) and buff them with an orbital.

I use mother's on mine by hand, but mine never get dirty so they are easier to keep clean

I do believe it was comments that you and Tommy gave about it that helped push me to purchase the thing.

Flitz comes in a silver tube, but it's a blue paste. It's good stuff, but I think he's talking about Nevr Dull or whatever it's called that looks like a big tin full of cotton.
