They sell a "buff ball" for doing larger areas.
My results on the wheels are "ok", results on an old tarnished souvenir
spoon were excellent and cleaned up a penny pretty good too.
I'm gonna get one of those buff ***** before doing any more on the wheels
it's just too much and the dremmel would probably run far too high speed.
Hmm.. I think I still have those old f-ed up headlamps from the ZJ.
They are just in case a rock kills one of my headlamps so no loss to try. :)
It's a little too dark to get good photos now but the two spokes I did
do look cleaner/less yellow. Ain't nothing short of machining that's going
to fix them properly but I am seeing better results than ye olde rubbing compound.

I use it to polish up my shifter when it needs it, and by this picture you
can tell it is in need of it right now.

Re: Flitz, any opinions?
Ok..
I've used this stuff on lots of things.. Just wish I would have
taken some before picks. :/ Oh well.
On the wheel (manually rubbing) Still have yet to get a buff-ball thingy.
The two spokes closer to you vs the one on the left. In the sun it's more
apparent that the yellow tinge is also missing.
http://www.revbeergoggles.com/temp/flitz-wheel.jpg
Here is an interesting bit. I did the pulley on the supercharger
just to see what this stuff would do to a basically unprepared surface.
Not too shabby.

And this is BLING baby!

ok.. Jeep bling.. :) shiny parts, and not just the top of my noggin either. :]
