people listen.
its chrome wheels, not aluminum.

use the steel wool that will get the crap out.
aluminum polish isnt going to do **** but hurt the chrome.

I have 19inch CCW's been using the mag alum cleaner for sometime now nothing but a perfect shine. Didnt hurt my chrome at all.

steel wool just sounds so harsh... does it ever cause swirl marks?

my wheels are still pretty virginal, so i just clean them with eagle 1 all-wheel cleaner like every other time i wash the car... i'm still on the original brake pads, and they dont appear to really dust at all. sometimes i'll follow it up with my carwash soap for some reason that i havent figured out yet, but i do it anyways

... i'll also wax the wheels, which wicked helps to keep them from spotting.

i used to use never-dull on my old 88, which had the 15" 'hi-tech turbo' wheels, and i didnt realize they were clearcoated until the never-dull did bad bad things to those wheels!
