Probably Wont Keep These TTIIs Long I am in the process of painting my calipers and inside of my rotors and had to take off all the wheels so i thought hey good time to polish them. I almost regret getting polished wheels now after just one run at it, took me forever to polish 2 of them and they look about 90% and i still have 2 to go. Probably end up selling them and going chrome, screw having to do this twice a month.

i don't understand why you guys have so much trouble keeping polished wheels shiney.
i polish mine once every month or two and simply wipe them down with stoner's invisible glass window cleaner/microfiber - looks as good as new and shiney as hell.

Okay, I have to completely agree. I have polished z06 wheels and I absolutely despise them, it doesn't help that I live on the beach. They constantly carry the oxidized look. NEVER again will I buy polished wheels. I wish someone would come steal them and I could get money from insurance

Yeah even after spending alot of time on them mine still look a bit hazy. I used noxon7 on one and simicrome on the other and the simi looked a little better. I have one of the small powerballs and i used it on the "spokes" of the wheel and it helped some but they still dont look new. They saw rain a couple times this week and basically caked what little brake dust was on them on and its hard as hell to get it off. Thinking I should have gotten the 17x9.5/18x10.5 C6 Z06 in chrome, but tires are so GD expensive for em.
