I have a set of cobra r rims settin here and need to polish them before my tires arrive. What is an effecient method of polishing them. Something that will bring them to a mirror shine. Mothers buffing ball? handpolishing? any innovations out there
 
Depends how bad they are. Powerball works have seen it do a better job with the mag and aluminium polish (paste stuff in the little container) over the actual powerball liquid polish. If theres a lot of deep straches you could sand them alittle if they are aluminium not sure what cobra r's are made out of. Or use normal buffing compounds tripoli and white rough and buff them

Other people could probably help ya out on more on this subject
 
I have Cobra R polished aluminums. It seems no matter what I do to them, they still never look perfect. I use the Powerball with Mother's Chrome Polish. The Mag and Aluminum polish seems to leave a film on the wheel.

Tried the mothers polish. It works really well. Only problem i found was finding the powerball. I hand polished one. It looks really good. but its gonna take awhile.
 
i got my powerball from autozone. If its leaving a film your not doing it right.......It is like a mirror when i do it, i think the key is you gotta have a FAST drill, because when my drill ran low on power, it would not work correct, it would do as you guys describe. Just spin it REAL fast, and then buff it clean by hand, I cant believe how fast/great it works

I'll have to try it on a high speed drill. Thanks
