Default Cleaning my wheels

What do you guys use to clean your polished wheels? I just washed the car and noticed that there is some spots on them and don't know how to get them off.

What to use to get it off would depend greatly on what you're trying to get off...

He's probably trying to get the hard water spots off. I'll probably get flamed, but I like either NeverDull or Mothers on polished aluminum.

Cory your an idiot Both those products are pretty good but if your smoothies are like my american racing and prior Fikse wheels than a product called Gords polish is the shiznit. The guy who bought my WS6 came over and I did have a wheel and he ordered a bottle that night.

Mothers and NeverDull are good products just alot of work....

I used Meguires wheel cleaner on my WS6 wheels. I have never used anything more than soap and water on my chrome Z06 wheels though.

Whatever you get, make sure you read the bottle carefully. Some cleaners will DESTROY the finish on pollished alluminum or painted wheels. And yes, I did learn the hard way.

Also a trick from the pros is to wax your wheels after you get them cleaned up. That way they are easier to clean the next time.

So Bobby, who is Cory?? I didn't see CHarris post here. j/k I believe you were going to help me do some polishing with Gords. I knew there was something else out there that was better, just couldn't remember what it was called.

Yeah, maybe I should come over this next week and try it out if you are not doing anything.
