Default Polish for Gumbys

What do you use to polish your C6 Gumbys? Mine are milky looking.

most OEM wheels like the Gumbys are actually clearcoated and must be treated like paint. Id suggest a good safe wheel cleaner (Sonaz, Griots, P21S), claying, and using some paint polish. Once done seal them up with a good sealant like Optiseal and you'll see a much nicer outcome.

But one minor difference for me, I use Zaino Z-CS Clear Seal.

There are indeed three different WOWA (no buffing) sealants. I find Optiseal a little glossier, ZCS more reflective, and Ultima the most durable. All are indeed great for paint and metal. The key to them all is a thin application on a clean prepped surface
