Well after all my wining and complaining about having to clean my polished ZR1's the other day, I decided to spend Monday cleaning them. I started at 8:30 cleaning and finished up at 4PM.
Started off by putting them in the bathtub and cleaning them off with good old dawn dishsoap and water. then hit them with Viniger and water and finished off the basic cleaning with a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser. That actually helped alot.
After I cleaned them I sat in the kitchen on the floor polishing them with the mother's Mag & Aluminum Polish along with multiple Micro-fibre cloths.
I sealed the deal (Literally) with Mother's Carnuba car wax. They're still not perfect but they're way better than they were.
THe pictures don't do them just because I had to use my cell phone
Enjoy the pics, and tell me what you think.

Here's a comparison of a dirty rim and the clean rim
