Yeah. ya gotta keep up on them as well as the stuff you can see "through" them (rotors, calipers). Get yourself a jack, you're gonna want to pop-em off to clean the insides of the barrels... if you have the time & passion they're great, if you don't go with chrome... (or get 'em already chromed at WCC). Mothers Billet polish, a few hours & a sunny afternoon will do the trick !

Adams Polish 1 & 2 is the easiest and is equal to Mothers (that you'll spent 5X the time with).
Use Adams metal polishes and you'll be satisfied.

I used some other stuff that was great but was a lot of work. Another CF member told me to try Adams and I have never looked back. Easy to use and looks great.

So far I have applied many coats of Zaino Z5 then Zaino CS... wash with Zaino car soap (off car) and dry with towel.
Good luck. These are a LOT of work, but worth it!

I used to use Mothers until I found Adams metal polishes. I will never go back. I polish my wheels every 6 months or so.
During normal washing, I use a leaf blower to blow all the water off the wheels and off the emblems, rear view mirrors and whatever else.

I used to use Mother's but Adam's is definitely the way to go! I loved the whole product line so much I started selling it. It is good stuff!!!!
