The lips on my Sport designs are polished with no clear coat, the body shop that installed my Aerokit did an awesome job BUT they stained the hell out of the lips with some chemical.

note: I don't use it on my wheels as they are cleared, but nothing does exhaust tips by hand faster or better, and I have used ever major metal polish from nevr dull to blue magic to mother's etc.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

The lips on my Sport designs are polished with no clear coat, the body shop that installed my Aerokit did an awesome job BUT they stained the hell out of the lips with some chemical. I really don't want to bother bringing the car back to them and would rather deal with it myself.
I used some Mothers mag wheel polish and it takes some of it off but with a huge amount of work! Is there a better product out there? I guess I could even sand them if I had to.
Thanks!
There is a small blue and white jar of polish I have used in the past. It cleans up the exhaust tips well. It is called Blue Magic metal polish. I have also used a product called Wenol which is awesome.
Both of these have worked great for me but it would depend on what they got on there. I would take them back if I were you. What if it is really damaged beyound repair?
After a ton of work I was able to get one wheel almost back to perfect so I think they are fixable, I sure hope so they were refinished last month!
If I cant get them looking 100% I will bring it back, They are good guys and I am sure they will take care of it but first I would rather see if I can sort it out.
I will give them a call in an event and give them a heads up.
I buy mine from a guy in denver mail order, 10 bucks shipped for a little tube that will last you a while

Polishing tips: Use the simichrome Sparingly! If you are doing narrow surfaces with good clearance to bodywork (like wheel lips), a drill mounted Powerball polishing ball works surprisingly well, if by hand try those cotton polishing gloves like the ones that come in shoe shine kits followed by a polishing cloth.
This stuff did the trick!! Also made my Exhaust tips look awsome!
P21S Metal Polishing Soap - 10.6 oz
Jar
Description: 10.6 oz Jar with Applicator Sponge
A clay and soap based, water soluble metal polish that cleans and polishes all uncoated metal surfaces in one easy step. Clean the area/item to be polished to remove any brake dust, dirt or grease. Wet the enclosed sponge thoroughly, drag across the surface of the Polishing Soap a couple of passes, then squeeze the sponge several times to raise a lather. Gently scrub the surface with the sponge for a few seconds until the shine appears. Rinse thoroughly with water, dry and you are done. Certain heavily soiled areas may require repeated applications. The Polishing Soap does not contain any petroleum solvents or ammonia and leaves the treated surface with a water repellent shine that beads water. DO NOT use on painted surfaces, clear coated or anodized metal. Great for polished or chromed wheels, chrome bumpers, exhaust tips, running boards, diamond plate, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, glass. The Polishing Soap is non-toxic and biodegradable.
