cleaning polished wheels?
ok...i've got polished aluminum wheels. they are heck to keep clean. i use mothers billet alluminum polish to polish them, and it makes them look new. only thing is, it takes 2 hours to do each wheel. is there something i can put on them after polishing? something like a wax, but better. i've tried wax, but it doesn't help for too long. i've heard about that zoop seal stuff, and hear its great, but i'm not wanting to spend 100 bucks for it. is there anything else to seal it, and anything else that takes less time to polish?

Re: cleaning polished wheels?
keep 'em clean and use a drill with a polishing bit. it'll still take a long time, but not 2 hours a wheel.

Re: cleaning polished wheels?
The Eagle1 wad shit sucks on my rims. Not sure why. The Mother's Billett cleaner is the best hands down. Apply a couple of coats of Carnuba (Mother's) wax and then a wax sealer for the best results. I also use Windex to really shine the rims up between washes (daily! lol!). The ammonia supposedly helps keep brake dust and etc. from coating the rim.
