Clean Polished Wheels Between Polishes I was wondering what everyone uses to clean thier polished wheels between polishes. I saw on a thread once that someone said glass cleaner. Is it a special kind or just any automotive glass cleaner? OR is there something better to use???

JARGAN04- All I have to say is....... WOW, Im loving your vette! If I ever sold my TA, then it would def. be a white Z06- and I even had planned on getting your same wheels (if I ever got the vette of course). You have a much easier polishing job though cuz it looks as if your wheels are chrome.
ANYWAYS- yeah Im looking for the same answer, Im thinking about getting some TTII's but I was a little worried of the polishing and cleaning.

Yeah you gotta be careful with em bc one time i got some tire cleaner overspray on them and it left spots that took me like 3 hours to get rid of on the wheels. Something gentle but will get rid of brake dust and road grime.

lol thats what i said... i thought he was kidding, cuz he happened to tell me that on 4.20... and he said get stoners invisible glass, lol kinda ironic...
then i went to checker for something and ran across it there... so ya i think most places will carry it. try using that and a microfiber towel... he says that should keep the shine in between polishes

I have TTIIs and I use Mothers Mag and Aluminum Polish. It works well. However, it is time consuming to use every time I wash it. I tried the Mothers Power Ball but was not impressed compared to hand polishing. I use it on the bathroom tile now. I may try the glass cleaner on the wheels to use in between polishing. If anyone has any better ideas I am all ears.
