Thumbs up Best $11.00 I ever spent!

My Smoothie II wheels are looking really sad after the winter weather we've had here this year. I bought Zephyr Pro 40 metal polish and cleaned them up with P21-S wheel cleaner. Holy easy polish job. 15 minutes and I have one wheel looking almost brand new. It started raining; so , I'll have to wait 'til tomorrow to finish up. This stuff works much better than any polish I've ever used before. It's not much harder than waxing. I was thinking about dumping them for chrome wheels, until I tried this stuff. I think I'll keep them for a while now.

Have you tried Mother's Extreme Billet? If so, how would you say this stuff compares??

Sorry, I haven't. I don't see how it can be any better than perfect though. I used less than an ounce and can't find a place where it didn't work perfectly. That's on wheels that looked like hell to start with. It works on brass, copper, stainless steel, chrome, silver, and magnesium. I wouldn't be surprised if they were very similar products as far as results go. It's impossible to compare it to something I haven't used before though.

I wipe my smoothies off with a rag and Discount Auto window cleaner about 3 times a week. No amonia type. Still look like new. I'm sure your winter road conditions are worse than anything I encounter down here though

I will give that stuff a try anyway it will probably work good on all my underhood Chiken-bling

I don't think it's recommended for PoULtRy.

Let us know how it works on the Chiken-bling. Mine gets water spots on it and it's impossible to get them off, and I've tried everything!

Cleaned unpolished wheels....






Polished....





It's kind of overcast today; so, the pictures don't show the difference as well as in person. I was too embarrassed to take pictures of the wheels before I cleaned them. They were really bad. :o That's why I didn't make a big deal over the P21-S wheel cleaner; but, it's good stuff, too.

Yup. Believe it or not, I managed to get around pretty good in the snow and ice we had here this year with them on. They aren't good tires for that kind of weather; but, you can make do if you're smart about it. I'm gonna have Nitto 404s put on the stock wheels for next year though. They should be a lot better.
