Never Dull is way too abrasive and will scratch them. Use Mother's Billet polish, you can get it at Autozone, it's good stuff. Oh yeah, use Meguiars Hot Rims (pink bottle) wheel cleaner when washing your car. It will keep them looking freshly polished for months.

I used Gords polish this time when I polished my wheels and I was very happy with them. I hear it seals the wheel too so that you don't have to polish as often. I'll find out if thats true.. So far they still look good but I'll be able to tell more after a few more weeks. I would use Mothers billet polish like was said before. It will give you a better shine than the Never Dull. I've used just about everything on my TT2s
