Polishing Wheels

[Bob Mathis]

I have two stock widen wheels that need to be polishing. What is a good way. I looked at Mother's. Sure could us some help.

Use whatever you'd use on the car body.

Don't use anything that's not meant for clear coated surfaces. Our wheels are cleared over and any type of polish or wheel cleaner that's meant for a bare finish will ruin it. I usually just wash mine with whatever I'm washing the paint with (since it's all clear coated) to get the worst of it off, then follow up with a wheel cleaner that's intended for clear coated wheels. Mother's makes some intended for that and I think Griot's wheel cleaner is made for all types of wheels too.

Then I would just use some type of polish that would be safe enough to use on the paint of your car. Maybe Meguiar's Ultimate Polish?

I personally just wipe down the wheels with some 303 Aero Protectant to give it a nice shine. That's more of just a quick, week to week fix for a nice look. A more dedicated polish that's safe for clear coat will have a more lasting effect.

I think I will get Mother power ball to help.

Power ball is pretty aggressive, Any time you are polishing, start mild and work your way up, it sucks to do more damage 1st. You can always increase cut after you try your mildest stuff.

I treat the wheels the same as the body. Nothing more. Nothing less.
