Polished Wheel Initial Care
What if anything should I do when my CCW's arrive this week...
Im contemplating blocking off the fronts and clear coating the barrels..but what if any thing should be done for the faces....
Wax, Rejex

CCW 505a's polished here, i used wax the 1st time i cleaned them and now i use a detailing spray, i'll wax again b4 i put it away for winter, have them about 8 months and they look great! most importantly is every time i use the car i clean the wheels when i get home, dont want brake dust on them for any period of time. i use a very soft micro weave

When my CCW's arrived (back in February 2007), I first applied 5 coats of Zaino Z-5 and then two coats of Z-CS... then I switched to ceramic pads, wash wheels (and dry) frequently... they still look good too...
Prevention will postpone the inevitable... polishing --- but it is not a matter of if, but rather when

Oh... and they are worth it. The wheels ROCK and get compliments all of the time.

I use Rejex on mine. They are holding up really well and it keeps the water spots from staining the Aluminum. I put a coat on back in May, and then just recently put another coat on.
