My coach's wheels were in terrible shape from dealer sitting/washing before she found us, so i finally had time to polish and get the stains out of the wheels
2 tubs of polish, lots of cloth diapers and a few polish balls later they look good again

Great job Robert! One day I might get ambitious and do mine. What polish did you use?
