What do u guys use here in Oz to polish out aluminium rims??

Back home I used to use Autosol, it was in a pink tube but I can't seem to find any over here!!!!

What else could I use and where could I buy it from???

Cheers :D

Always used Solvol Autosol in UK and AU untill I had a few bits
(Grabrail / pegs / rims / etc) polished last year. I mentioned to
Jim at Hand Made Racers that I better stock up with Autosol and he
gave me grief !!

Im now using "MOTHERS Mag and Aluminium Polish" as recomended.

Got the autosol cheers turbo. It was for a housemate of mine. He just got a Hornet 250, small little fucker, but I like the looks. Had a 600 fro a few years beck home.

Yeah I'm back In Melbourne again. But due the unexpected trip back home, I know have to sell the van to pay it off [xx(][xx(]

Rather using the money for a bike as planned. Hope to be able to get back on 2 wheels asap, but it may be a few months b4 I get the cash... [8]

Bloody airlines, cost me $3200 for an urgent flight back home.

Can u say thanks 4 fucking me any louder......:(:(

M8 if your in Melbourne once your rims have been polished see the Guys in thomastown at Electro Mould they sell a product call PURPLE and its the shit it actually has a finer cutting compound then Autosil so the shine in bighter and lasts longer , really good stuff and a little goes a long way ( thank F*CK cause its $ 25 for 500 mls )
