What is a good wheel polish to use on clearcoated, painted alloy wheels? I like to polish my wheels after I clean them and I'm wondering what people use.

Re: Wheel Polish
Treat it like paint. Use a paint cleaner, paint polish, and wax.

ScratchX does wonders on the occasional little scuff, but M80 or ColorX by hand do a great job overall. Don't forget to clay before polishing if needed, and apply your favorite wax or sealant as a final step. Keep in mind though that any wheel cleaner you might use in the future will most likely strip that wax right off.Michael Stoops

Re: Wheel Polish
Just to be clear... for your wheels you want to use a product designed for paint like the previous 3 posters have indicated.
If you use an aluminum wheel polish like Meg's Hot Rims Mag & Aluminum polish, it could remove the clear coat & paint on your wheels since it's designed for non-coated wheels & metals. It works awesome on the polished aluminum Boyd's on my old Galaxie and old-school Offy finned aluminum valve cover on the pickup, but would mess up the OE clearcoated alloy wheels on my wife's Infiniti G35.Comment

Re: Wheel Polish
Agree here as well, but to add I believe NXT All Metal Polysh is clearcoat safe, just in case.Originally posted by CosmoTiki View Post
