Depending on how bad they are....if they are in half way decent shape I would go with a mothers powerball and some,
mothers liquid wheel polish. I used mothers polish and a soft polishing wheel attached to a cordless drill and that also worked real well.

Some guys use regular car wax. If you're talking about a 'sealer' the only one I've heard of is Zoopseal. Do a google search, it's pretty easy to find. That's what I orderd to try with my rims. I've heard you can go months without polishing. Mine's a DD and I want to spend more time driving than polishing!

I use Mother Mag on the barrels, then top it off with RejeX for protection.


I use Mother's Billet on the outsides. No RejeX.
