flitz polish, other wise, go on ebay, and look up some cook book for polishing, my dad makes some, and it has wax in it, so the polish stays, and, by hand does it better,

Yea im going to do it by hand. and if you really wanna go all out, wax it, i use mothers fx spray wax, i find its very easy to use, and has good results, spray on, wipe to spread it, and wipe off, simple, and makes the truck really shine

But one thing though, if you have any dark grey or black plastic parts on whatever you're polishing, e.g. plastic bumper, for god sakes don't get any polish on it, you'll never get it out properly

I don't do wheels... we got Durabrights ;D anywho. In my experience flitz isn't that great. Use Mothers aluminum and chrome polish. That's what i use on my pickup, unless i'm doing the body. Then i use a polish we got from some guy in a van in Iowa...

The shine has gotten a bit duller since we got the truck. Im thinking of buying the powerbal.

It should get black, if it doesnt get black you need more polish cuz you rubbed it all off on the aluminum.
