Congrats! The best thing I've found for my SP500's is the Adams Metal Polish 1 and 2. Using that with Webril wipes will leave a mirror finish. You can find the Webril wipes online. I do mine a couple times a year.

Congrats on your new wheels !
I have had my 19/19 SP500's for 5.5 yrs now and they still look like new !
Don't worry too much about the rain.
You can polish them back to a mirror easily.
You can even sand off scratches YOURSELF easily.
You can't do that with a chrome, or painted wheel !
Follow some of the polishing suggestions I have on my web site.
You will like the results.

I also suggest wearing rubber mechanics gloves. The Adams metal polish gets pretty messy.
Well-maintained, polished CCW wheels never go out of style!
