what do u guys polish rims with ???

i just bought some polished 03 cobra rims. i am redoing the front of my car, so i figured i needed rims as well. they look good new, but i have seen what happens to plished alum inum if not taken care of, so i was wandering what you guys use or would recommend to make sure they stay nice and clean and shiny.

Aren't those wheels clearcoated? If so, you should just have to keep them clean.

i used that mothers powerball and it's the best 25 bucks i ever spent, it made my billet wheels look like chrome...all four in a little over an hour.

If their just painted all you have to do is use some window cleaner and wipe.

they arent painted, or at least i dont know. these are polished to an almost chrome looking shine. i am not sure if they are clearcoated or not. i have heard that mothers powerball is nice, so i will prolly give it a shot.

i didnt know what anyone made 03 cobra's in polished alumn. Nevertheless to polish a wheel, you could use Eagle One Never Dull. This stuf is really easy to use, and works great on my tailpipes. I've never used the powerball, but have heard good things. Also, Flitz is a good product too. Good luck

Ya try the Powerball, I have heard good things.

yeah, on my polished 03's i used to hand polish them with mother's.....but that takes forever, so i was thinking powerball with mothers?

if it's a clearcoat, just use soap and water to clean the rim first, then a wax like you would use for your car.

If it's chrome, I use soap/water initally, then windex and a non-lint rag....works great.
