Drill attachments for cleaning/polishing/waxing wheels?
So last year I picked up a set of these wheels:
Thank goodness its nearing time to put them back on and get my beefy steel wheels and winter tires off my poor ride. I washed and waxed every corner of these things last year and it took me forever. Anyone have experience with any of the drill adapter deals? I started researching some, looks like a lot are just for polishing? I'd like something I could used to quickly and easily make sure I'm cleaning every part, then maybe give me an easy way to polish them up hit them with some wax.

Love those Enkei's.
Raijin's are my favorite in Gun metal grey If you can, treat those rims with Opticoat or Cquartz after you decontaminate/clean them -> Better protection even yet, and makes cleaning them easier..

There's really no sense in getting a drill attachment for cleaning. Get yourself some wheel woolies.

The Turbo Stick may be what I'm looking for. Kinda what I had in mind.

To polish them get the meguiars dynacone attachment, it's a beast!

Bought a Chemical Guys Ball Buster for wheels. Probably the only thing I have bought from them that I can't give high grades to. Decent but can't recommend as it's hard to control.
Would say in this case the Adams listed above are your best bet. Seen but haven't used the Meguiars Dynacone system. |

It's actually for bare aluminum wheels, specifically. However, it can be used on chrome, and painted wheels, as long as you use the appropriate polish.

That turbo stick comes in two sizes. The smaller one really gets in behind the calipers well.

These are great, but I love the demos when they do it on a perfectly clean car...
Let's see a car that has not been cleaned on a regular basis and has all the road grim stuck on the wheels.
