ok guys, how do you clean your clearcoated wheels. my wheels are clean but you can tell they just dont have that shine anymore. they've got waterspots and just arent sparkling, everything on my truck is bling bling when i clean it good except the wheels.

exactly how do you guys clean yours, what products do you like to use and where do you get them? ive heard of using some jewelers rouge type stuff and a dremel with a polish tool? how does this work?

thanks

I just ordered this polishing kit from Sears that attaches to your drill. It should be here anyday, but I heard about it from another thread and supposedly it works pretty darn good.

thanks guys

rollinstyle, i also read that other thread, was that polishing kit for just polished aluminum wheels? or wheels with a clear coat overtop? i wouldnt want to buff my clearcoat straight off. thanks

Hmmmm....I don't know about that. I just got the kit in from UPS and it's pretty sweet. I'd imagine it would be just like buffing the paint w/ clear coat on top? Maybe someone more knowledgable will know.:think:
