Default CCW Questions

I tried this in the wheels forums, but I didn't get much of a response. I just got my CCW 505A's and was wondering what other owners used to polish and seal. Could I get your opinions on the best of both?

I have been looking into this, my CCW SP16A wheels are due to arrive this Wed. Mothers Billet metal polish used with the Mothers Powerball seems to be most popular, followed with Rejex or Zaino. Also some have used Zoop seal which is supposed to be good for several years. Most of the info I have found has been in the car care product section.

i would zoop them even though john at ccw will tell you not to. i had sp20s's on my car and they looked great but were horrible to keep clean especially on the inside.

i had to take them off the car every time i washed it to clean the insides of the wheels.

Mothers Amuminum polish works great. Make sure you rub them untill they get black, then throw regular baking flour on them and rub with a soft towel and them will come up great.

Are we talking about polishing rims or baking cookies?

Why the baking flour?
