Default those with polished wheels, HELP!

ok i made the mistake of driving in the rain and not washing the wheels for a few days because of the rain the past week or so, so yesterday i washed with soap and water, then polished and they look like they still have water spots and they are just so dull, so is there anything you guys are cleaning with besides soap and water? let me know this is bothering me!!
thanks guys

Get some Billet polish. The polish works like a wax and will take off all the water spots.

Try some Noxon 7 before you use Mother's Billet

if theyre really bad, and they arent clearcoated, just sand them with some 1500 grit and then 2000 grit sandpaper. they will loose their gloss untill you polish them with some mothers wheel polish again, and then they will look great again.

i love polished way more than chrome. chrome eventually flakes, but polished can always be fixed.
