New rims, protection?'s
 

I just got a new set Of American Racing Polished Salt Flats for my 55 Chevy. What is the best way to keep these looking their best? I once had someone tell me the best way was to wax them. Is that any good? In the past I had a set of TTII's that dulled down in about two weeks and never looked as good as new again no matter what I did.

Any suggestions?? Thanks...

Here's a link from P-T.com that might help:

I saw that and even posted my question there as well. Never got an answer. My question was more for brand new rims, not cleaning and protecting used rims.

Thanks

Yep, wax will help a lot but the lower the grade of aluminum, the quicker it will lose it's shine but being softer, it will polish back up easier. There is actually a product specifically for wheels called Wheel Wax that works really well.

Washing very regularly with gentle car wash soap and a fuzzy micro-fiber mitt that is rinsed and washed regularly and not mixed with car wash water helps a lot too. The wash as you dry wax spritz when you dry them off will help keep them slick as a compliment to a regular waxing every couple months. Just like car detailing, your time commitment just depends on how anal you are.
