What wheel polish do you recommend for polishing my lips of my new strasse forged wheels. They are High-polished lips.

Are you looking to protect the lips or are you looking to polish them?

Can the tripple be applied with a porter cable DA polisher.  If so, what pad do you recommend?

thanks,
Mark

Polish then protect them with a sealant.

I'd polish them with an AIO polish (Tripple) and then seal them with Mint Rims. Here is a shot from a customer using the same combination...

Eric-

I'd highly recommend Ivan at LUSTR Auto Detail. He does great work and is often referred to by the guys at A&L and IND.

Do you know of any good detailers in the Arizona area?  I've been doing the two bucket method wash (meguiars ultimate was/wax), clay barring (meguiars as well), followed by a wax (meguiars nxt 2.0), but I'm still not satisfied because there are still some water spots on the rear including a ton of dealership swirls.  In addition, there is a bit of oxidation in the lip of wheel from the dealership, but not sure how to get rid of it.  I also didn't want to ruin my paint from doing anything stupid.  Thanks!

Kuba-

I would strongly advise treating clear film the same way as paint. I take caution with clear film when using bug & tar remover, get a specific kind SAFE for clear film. Other than that you treat the film the same way you'd treat the paint.

By hand with a foam wax applicator I would suggest using Auto Finesse Tripple. This will remove majority of the defect by hand. Hope this helps!
