    Wheel polish?

    I haven't washed my car in a while and my wheels are starting to look hazy. What does everyone use to clean up their polished wheels?

    What kind of wheels? I have draglites on my car and use Mothers
    And Shepherds we shall be

    For thee, my Lord, for thee.

    Power hath descended forth from Thy hand

    Our feet may swiftly carry out Thy commands.

    So we shall flow a river forth to Thee

    And teeming with souls shall it ever be.

    In Nomeni Patri Et Fili Spiritus Sancti

      Long story short, the lips of my rims are bare polished aluminum.
      Looks great, but on the rare instances I got into rain, the road grime and brake dust would stain the aluminum. After trying lots of products I figured it out.....
      If they are bare aluminum, use plain old Mothers. Might have to go over them 2-3 times (by hand) if they are extra oxidized.
      Mothers does a great job, but it does nothing to protect the aluminum.
      If you go over them one last time with Eagle One the shine will last 4X longer.

      If you're wondering why not go straight to Eagle One, it's because it is not "harsh enough" if there is any oxidation.

        If bare aluminum, use Meguiars Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum Polish.

          The wheels are polished 18" Saleens made by Wheel Replicas. They've only been on the car for about a month, just the rain and road grime is starting to dirty them up. I did take the initiative to put brake pads on the car that are low dusting, so brake dust hasn't started to show yet.

              I use the Meguires one with the mini ball that you attach to your cordless. Comes out real good. Put your drill on the low gear, if it has it.
