i got one and used it to polish my gauge and it didnt do quite as much as i though it would... so it made me scared to us it on my wheels since they almost perfectly polished except for the fine scratches caus by me tryin to rub out the waterspots(which are still there :-\) i guess i could try it but i need to go get some wheel polish.... what do you guys recommend.... id like something better than the regular ol meguires and mothers but not sure where to start or what to look for

I can't recommend anything for polished.  I hate polishing wheels so I won't buy them.

Use mothers billet polish.  It is in a little glass jar.

MIKEIT, go to your nearest semi-truck auto parts store and look for a stone that looks like a "gold bar". they sell these in  white, green, black, and marroon, the reason these weird colors is only to distinguish the abrashion you want. these are especially to polish anything from polished metals items - chrome-glass-you can even use it an painted plastics.  a place i know here  that sell them is called " NUGA ".
THE LOWER I GO,..... THE MORE SHE LIKES IT!
