Anyone know of a good brand of glass polish for my windshield? Also, anyone know how to polish the lip of stock bullit rims?

I usually just wax the glass on my car. It's just like using rain-x

What type of metal is the lip of the bullitt wheels, aluminum?

Tmac3320 · April 20th, 2008, 03:32 AM

i use ZAINO glass polish.

use some sort of aluminum of metal polish on the lips of the wheels...then seal the whole wheel with zaino clear seal. it gives it a great great gloss shine. IMHO

I want to know how to polish the lip to a mirror finish. When stock, it has like a brushed aluminum look. I was to told to wet sand it and the polish it. Is this ok?

it is clear coated. If its just the clear just sand it until the scratch is gone being careful not to sand through to the metal. If its in the metal take it to a wheel shop and have it done by a pro.
