Default Maintaining Polished CCW Wheels

I bought these CCW 505A's a few months ago and before they hit the road, I was wondering what the process should be for polishing/sealing them for the elements...also need to know what guys are doing routinely to keep these things nice. They won't see rain, snow or salt....just nice spring, summer, and fall days. I bought some Rejex, but was just trying to get some recommendations on what the process should be.....Polish first, then Rejex?.....or is Rejex out of the box all I need to do? Thanks guys.

Mike

I use Flitz aluminum pre-clean, never dull, and then polish them with blingmaster.

Sorry, I don't have any good ones of the car yet with the new wheels and Z06 widebody kit. The car has been at the shop for a while. When the motor is in, I will detail the car and get some real good pics.

Here is the best by far!!!

Adams metal polish, Very easy to use. No unnecessary rubbing like all other products, Outstanding shine and protection.

Check out all the Adams products. THE BEST SH!# I EVER USED!! NO JOKE!!! I used all the others, high end, store bought, nothing compares!!

oh yea!....Did i mention Jay Leno's car detailers use Adams products on his multi-million dollar car collection.
