I got chrome zr1's and was suckerd into the mothers crome polish. I didn't get the shine I expected. I bought some eagle 1 nano polish and it made a difference even after I polished them with the mothers. The eagle 1 cleaned off some of the junk/crap that I thought I'd have to live with forever. It was really cool wipe on untill clean then wipe off, it will leave a protective film on the rim. Im impressed with the product. Hope my long winded *** helps.

Mother's metal/mag wheel polish (paste). Not their chrome polish (it's weak in comparison).
Then just maintain them with wax.
