Wheel lip polishing techniques?
Curious what others are using to polish up their lips?
Tired of doing this by hand. I know some use a PowerBall but it does not reach the corner well on my wheel.
What are others using?

Its true that this method still is doing it by hand, but it is actually easier and more effective than sitting there with a towel and metal polish.

It is the P21s polishing soap. Basically it works just like soap, get the applicator wet, then dab it in the polishing soap, and gently scrub the area. The applicator can get in all the small areas, and you just work it around like you are scrubbing it rather than polishing it. It breaks down the tarnishing components and leaves the area polished without having to work it in heavily like a metal polish.
This might not be as easy as something mechanical like a power ball, but it is easier than polishing and probably more effective as well.

A technique for polishing metal objects such as, for example, those made of aluminum, stainless steel, and brass is described. The technique employs a metal-polishing apparatus which includes a double-jointed arm assembly and a table assembly. The arm assembly includes a brush assembly, a handle, and an actuating device. The double-jointed nature of the arm assembly advantageously allows an operator to effectively polish a detailed and ornate metal object. The table assembly has a frame, a rotatable table-top assembly, and a mechanism for securing the object. The metal object to be polished is placed on the table-top assembly and allowed to rotate with respect to the frame. The technique also relates to the preparation, polishing, and post-polishing methods employed with the metal-polishing apparatus. The present technique enables aluminum, brass, and stainless steel objects to be effectively polished, and therefore refurbished, by removing a significant amount of damage (i.e., scratches) from the metal object.
