Default CCW Wheel Owners Inside Please!

Guys, what is the best way to keep these wheels looking good once they get scratched up?! I've only owned mine for 2 months and they are already looking less then perfect.

I've tried to polish them out with Wymol (sp) extra soft in some locations and although there were improvements....not a mirror finish.

Can somebody give me a step by step on making these look new again when I get to the point say, a year from now that I want them to look that way?

Thanks!

On mine, I use the powerball, if you let that ball sit on the spot for a min and spin. It will do the trick. It will make the scratches look gone, but as far as getting rid of them dont plan on it. I also use mothers polish, billet.

Use a good quality Microfiber towel when you clean up the wheels. It should help keep scratching down a lot

Yeah, I'm able to get them to LOOK gone easily. But under certian angles they are still there. Where did you get that powerball thing? I have no idea where to buy that. Thanks!

Jeff, contact Tropicare-chris on our local forum. He just cleaned up SilverTurtle's CCW's. Remember, the same wheels as yours on the same color Camaro.

Mine are brand new and look great as of now...I just want to know all the tricks other CCW wheel owners use. I've learned a few.
