I HAVE COME ACROSS A GOOD VENDOR IN PENNSYLVANNIA. THIS COMPANY CARRIES UNIQUE AUTO TOOLS AND SUPPLIES.THEY HAVE SEVERAL PAGES WITH BUFFING COMPOUNDS,PADS & BUFFERS OF ALL SIZES,AND DRILL ATTACHMENTS. ITS AT WWW.EASTWOODCOMPANY.COM YOU CAN ORDER A CATALOG FROM THEM AT 1-800-345-1178. I'LL BE WORKING ON MY '78 WHEELS THIS WEEKEND!

Joe they are great, I have been using their products for years.Also, if you go under the "Tools" tab above and into "Tips & Tricks" I put in how I refinished a set of aluminum rims I purchased second hand.

Now that mine are cleaned up, I use Alcoa's PDQ Brightener. They also have a 3 step polishing system which looks good

The Eastwood Company has been around for quite awhile. And you're right, they have a lot of interesting offerings! For those to lazy to copy-n-paste, click here for their website.

If you haven't heard about this product you need to check it out. I saw it on trucks TV. Its made by Zoop Products, they make aluminum pulleys and accessories for street rods and stuff, but they have a chemical that you wipe on bare aluminum products that impregnates it and protects it so it from the eliments and they say you won't have to do anything to your wheels for 3 years, then just reapply. Says it can be apply to aluminum, brass, or stainless steel.
