    What type of metal are "we" working with to clean? Any damage to the metal?

    I have switched to the Eagle 1 nano products as of late including the rim polisher. I like the way it works.

    I like Eagle 1 products with a power ball, but like Jmoney02 pointed out different metals need different methods/chemicals.

    Like tbplus10 and the others, Eagle 1 has been proven good for wheels and rims. It also has a longer lasting quality than some of the other products....

    Man I thought the only placed that used never dull was the Marine Corps Boot Camp. If I ever use that stuff again in my life it'll be too soon. I'd use Mothers with the powerball. I know 2 guys that swear by it.
