Poorboys Wheel Sealant

When you do get around to polishing them, take the wheels off before you polish, it's SO much easier that way. Use a good degreaser, like Simple Green or Meguairs APC, just let the rims/tires soak for a few minutes then hose off. Make sure you dilute the degreaser too, you don't want to stain the wheels.
Go buy a Mothers Powerball and some polish, do each wheel until you're satisfied with the results, then top it off with the sealant. If you'd prefer to buy locally and not online, Megs #20 will work great too, 3 coats of that stuff should get you buy for at least 1.5-2 months during the winter
