    I like scotch brite pads in diffrent grades with any cream polish then steal wool in different grades with any aluminum polish. you can cut the pieces to chuck up in a drill. cast will polish like this.

    We use oven cleaner on our wheels to remove the dirt out of the rough cast surfaces and smooth surfaces, really cleans the deep fine dirt/dust out of the micro pits.
    We use it to clean our R/C motors when they get real dark tar(cooked oil from fuel) on them, they look like new when we're done.
    Don't get it on paint.
    Our club gets it by 30 gal drum when the club needs more!

    Anyone can cut one up, but! only some can put it back together looking cool!
    Steel is real, anyone can get a glass one.
