Re: cleaning wheels nothing works!!!!
I used turtle wax chrome polish on mine with the powerball, it worked really well. Just make sure not to let the powerball dry out, you gotta use a bunch of polish

Have you tried Eagle one "Never Dull"? I used that on my polished wheels with great success.

Re: cleaning wheels nothing works!!!!
I just put new 24" Driv Tantrums on my truck.. polished them with a MICROFIBER cloth. better than a ****en terry towel supposed to be scratch free but it left blue swirl marks/scratches on my lip!!! I was using mothers chrome polish and I used more than enough for each rim.. but it still left those swirls!!! Any help on getting those out or am I done?
These wheels aren't even a month old and they got a lil swirl.. i can live with it but i hate it there too new ![]()

Re: cleaning wheels nothing works!!!!
so you rubbed car polish on your wheels??
maybe a buffer could take the swirls out of the wheels? i have a 6" chrome lip and it doesn't fancy me to see ANY swirls.. whatsoever..
