    I highly recommend hitting them with some rubbing compound before wax/polish. I used one of those drill attachments for polishing headlights to really get in the hard to hit areas. I'm sure some of the body guys in here can recommend a product/method. When BODYMAN, Todd first saw my wheels he thought they were chrome. I probably had over an hour into each of them while off the car.

    What's the best product for the polished wheels?

    3M perfect it ultra fine (blue). Hit it with a 3" air buffer to rid the scratches, then hand wax with Mequiars tech 2.0 paste, wipe down with a microfiber.

    They will turn out better than they looked when it left the factory.

    Same process for your paint, just a larger buffer..

If they are cleared then why Ford wouldn't use that process on every wheel they make makes no sense. Except $$ I suppose.
    They are clear coated, PPG makes the correct products to strip and refinish polished aluminum wheels.
