Everytime I wash my car I have to polish my wheels cause they get water stains really easy, anyone have a good polish to protect them from water stains? Thanks

Do you wash and dry your car in a well shaded area? My car stays wet long enough for me to dry the wheels and windows first and then the body.

No that's the problem I'm living in Arizona right now there ain't many trees where I'm at so once I get done I have to hurry up and dry my windows and then get to my rims but by then the water spots have dryed so I get windex and clean them there still water spots after I do that so I have to get out the polish. And it kills me cause it so dusty out here so your car gets dirty quick

You should never clean aluminum with windex or any other cleaner that does not say aluminum cleaner on the bottle. I personally only use soap and water. The chemicals will cause stains and make the wheels look very hazy. The windex is causing more damage than the water.

You can polish them, then wax them just like the car. The wax should help prevent spotting and staining.

Another thing you can do is dry them off, then give them a quick wipe down with whatever rag you used to buff the polish off the last time you polished. It will have enough polish left in it to give a good touch up shine and remove light water spots and stains.

I've never washed my car, so I couldn't tell you on water spots, however I do polish them religiously with Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish, which usually removes anything else on them, so I'd imagine they would take water spots off. If you must wash your car, why don't you wipe the rims off first then save the windex for the windows......

Any good alluminum polish will work just fine. I use Adams 1 and 2. In my opinion, there is nothing better. If your wheels have water spots on them after washing your car, no worries. Just polish them after you've washed the car. Any good polish will remove the water spots. Then, like others have said before, wax them.
