cleaning ccw classics? i did a search and didnt get anything so asking around. i picked up a 2003 eb z06 today from new york with ccw classics and woundering the best way to clean them up is. they need a bit of TLC.
Love classics, definitly want a set. Id recommend the mothers power cone and aluminum mag polish. Will get in all the little tight areas with ease and quickly. Wiping it off will still take some elbow grease. I use the mothers mag polish on my chrome c6 wheels turns them into mirrors.

there a killer wheel, honest any polished wheel is a pain to keep looking nice, honest bud it depends how far you wanna go with it, take them apart or just clean and polish them up, imo its always alot easier to take the wheels of the car and do it,
Simple green cut 50/50 with water. Use a light bristle brush. Then get to polishing

thats what it should look like
the rims currently have no tires on them and are 17x9.5 and 18x 10.5
they are not damage in any way shape and form. they are just dirty and need polishing
well sir i did and now i dont want them so take that.
lol but im gonna sit on it a while and see if they maybe grow on me in person but the only part i see with polishing them and whats making me not want them is how do you clean around all those nuts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure they're a pain to keep clean. As someone else pointed out already, all polished aluminum wheels are a pain to keep up. I prefer the CCW 505a's to the classic by a mile, and they'd be easier, relatively speaking, to keep looking nice. The Classics are way too busy of a design for me.

but like you said im a HUGE fan of 505a's also and wanted them for my firebird. but ill clean them up once from how people have said to on here. put front and rear tires on them and see how they look on the car for a little while and go from there.
here is the car now and sorry they are cell phone pictures ill throw some more up in a little from my cannon if people want
its 30 degrees out right now so i only took two pix since this is the first time i have seen the car in sunlight since it was cloudy all day yesterday
nice color choice!!! love eb z06 vettes... heres mine with some ruff 281 wheels and i gotta admit its a pain in the *** to clean these type of wheels. and mine are just painted in the middle and still takes **** load of time. i cant even imagine cleaning the ccw polished ones.
Simple green cut 50/50 with water has worked fine for me on 3 sets of Fikses and 1 set of CCW's. Long as you don't let it just sit on there or do it while the wheels are hot it won't harm the finish.
