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.

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?
