Thanks! This was just using this polish on a rag with a little finger and elbow grease I got from a world of wheels like 10 years ago. Great Stuff but the accessible angles with the bumper on is tough. Here is a before pic! Maybe another pass with a brillo pad and the green paste?

Oh boy I wouldn't be looking forward to that. If the bumper was off it would have been easier but I'd rather not...

The CLS55 is the worst one. Very tight fit and in the worst shape.

Here is one of my favorite tricks and may work for this job.

Use some foam mounting tape (thick double sided foam tape) and use to put your green scrubbie inside a hole saw of just the right diameter.

Would have to be very soft foam and maybe 2-3 layers to get around the bugle flare at the end.

I've used the trick many times but most often on the outside of the hole saw. One example was prepping the knuckle to install a new front wheel bearing
