So there are fine lines on the polished lip. It's real fine and thin that you can't feel it. How do you buff that out?

If you have clear coated lips, the rag won't turn black once a polish cream is used.

Is Sonax Full Effect save on polished aluminum ? I see the demo on painted wheels, but what about brushed aluminum (clear coated) with polished lips?
