I have in the past used whitening toothpaste and a pipe cleaner on the wheel bore. So this is a huge step up from that?

i would say so.
pipe cleaners have wire in them that could do more damage than good.
i personally use the micro polish that can be bought at most pine car site (max-v etc ) its a liquid abrasive used to repair scratches in eye glasses.
take it slow and i think you will see vast improvement.
i would be interested in what others do as well

I use the one and two micron polishing cloth. Just roll a small piece up in your fingers chuck the wheel up in a drill insert into the bore and go to town.They come out nice and shiny.

So after you polish the tread area do you use any graphite on the tread?

Here is a product you may want to try. www.professionalplastics.com/NOVUS-PLAS I use the #2 grade to polish my wheel bores and the inside edge of the dominant front wheel and don't forget to polish the round area where the axle head makes contact with the wheel. When I'm done polishing the bores look like black glass. After many hours of trial and error I have discovered that you can actually "over polish" thus damaging the precision of the wheel so be careful. Leo
