Default Eagle alloys

anyone out there runnin' these? Just wonderin' how you keep them spiffed up? My brother has polished alloys on his '34 Ford roadster and started using a Mothers 'Power Ball' and said since he started using it, his rims tend to 'tarnish' faster Don't want that with mine, they look like chrome now.

I was told by the tire shop that sold me my old eagle alloys on my previous project to keep a good coat of car wax on them. It kept them from oxidizing and kept them shiny longer.
