Cleaning CCW's????
I bought some CCW SP500's about a year ago. I have been using Busch's aluminum polish and it works pretty well. When I first got the wheels the guy said it had been a while since he polished them. I have done it twice and it pretty well takes me all day, I take them off and do the barrels as well with a Mother's cone. I was just seeing if there is anything that might work faster and better and also help me to not have to do it every time I wash the car, kinda makes me not want to wash it when I know I have to spend all day on the wheels. Thanks for any help.

My CCW'S are a PITA. I wish I never bought them. Wayyyyy to much time to keep up to my likings. I'm thinking of getting them powder coated or clear coated. I have found nothing that speeds the process of getting looking top notch. I'll be interested to read other posts on what does a good job in 1-2 hours.

I run Iforged uncoated High Polish wheels and I have found a couple hints:
1. Clean with P21S Polishing Soap to remove tarnish
2. Polish by hand or machine w/ Flitz or Simichrome Polish
3. Seal with Optimums Opti-Seal (2 coats)
You can use a safe wheel cleaner (P21S, Sonax) prior to these steps if you have alot of brake dust. For many weeks after these steps only car wash soap and water is needed to clean. You can reapply Optiseal as desired.
