This summer, don’t get caught rolling dull ‘n dirty wheels. That’s just weak. Meguiar’s has a new Wheel Polishing Kit that will keep your spinners in check. The package comes with a polisher tool called the DynaCone—a diamond-shaped foam thingamajig that you attach to any drill. It’ll enhance your polishing skills by reaching those hard-to-clean areas on multi-spoke or deep-dish wheels, plus it shortens your cleaning time so you can go back to drinking with your buddies (legally, of course). The included polish has all the standard ingredients to remove oxidation without causing scratches. Megiuar’s tells us it’ll work on any uncoated, polished or chrome wheels. Finally, there’s a foam cleaner so the DynaCone will last longer than a couple uses.
