I use it with the polish that is supposed to be used with it, wipe it off ....and then use Mother's Mag and Aluminum polish by hand on the polished lips themselves.

Which is more difficult... cleaning polished lips or cleaning chrome lips?

I am debating because ever since I polished the lips on my GT-7's, it takes more to keep them clean and sparkley.

Is it just me or did that powerball completely strip the finish and polish the bare metal?

to me they look like 2 different rims, since the middle of the rim where the lugs sit are completely different....

Oh, I thought you were just trying to be funny!

EDIT: BTW, are the Maya lips the same as the Volk? Are the a polished lip, a polished lip with clearcoat, or a chrome lip?
