Can't wait to try this out it's;

Master Formula Metal Gloss + Sealer

I have this stuff.. it is pretty damn good, but I prefer mothers billet.. though it is more expensive. The trick is to apply with something rough, like a terry towel, and buff it out with something like a microfiber cloth

tko,
have you tried Mothers Billet on the bottom of a soda can to see if the results are the same as the Master Formula product?
Just wondering

Here's the verdict.. I did each can with a dab of each polish applied with a Terry towel, 30 seconds, and then 30 seconds of buff with a microfiber towel.. mother's is on the left and the other on the right. The mothers is definitely clearer and less grainy. I'm sure with more elbow grease thE other polish can get it as clear..

haha yeah, but you do get a lot less material for your money.. the other bottle is much bigger! good luck, I think youll be happy either way with a little work!

Here are a couple pics of my 2014 Platinum 4x2 after using the Master Formula Metal Gloss product.
Then used the Master Formula Sealer Gloss sealing all four wheels.
They look much shinier in the sun light as this was taken in the late afternoon.

Looks pretty much the same as butts Mothers Billet on his wheels. Good to seal the wheels after polishing them up

butts lets see a pic of your wheels mounted on your truck!!!

Any other ideas/comments for getting maximum shine on these wheels?
