It can be a pain sometimes. These guys are complaining and they have 5 spokes look at all the spokes I have to get in between

Polished wheels are a labor of love . . . It is A LOT of hard waork to keep them looking top notch. . . . Even harder than keeping a Black car pristine . . .

see all ive ever had is polished wheels, i will not buy any other, and for the look that is obtained when they are kept clean makes it all worth it, when another car person notices that your wheels are indeed not chrome and will argue with you that they are... brings some amusment as well.

yeah keeping up on polished isnt that bad if you wipe them off after each use with a microfiber and some detail spray, i use adams. my polishing has been cut in half with the shine lasting.

im sure that your wheels are a bit more to polish, but i also bet they are a little bit more quality then any of the wheels i have,
