Arrow Need Wheel polish recommendation...

Basically the z06 polished style wheels I have now are oxidized. It is disgusting and looks moldy. I try to keep them clean but I live on the beach (see: extreme salt air) and everything seems to rust and tarnish quite easily.

I'm looking for a recommendation on a very effective polish / oxidation remover. Then if someone can suggest something that I can apply to aid in the protection of the wheel and longevity of the clean look, that would be great.

Thanks.

I can't help you on the polishing, but once you get them polished, protect them with Zoopseal.

I plan on doing this with my ProStars when they're brand new.
