They looked brand new when i got em
But that was 4 years ago
They are just dirty now , not damaged
I assume that Useing wheel cleaner product
Will not improve the situation.

Im not expecting them to shine up
Like new ,but figured i could at least keep
Them somewhat tidy .


So what product will work with out diminishing
The shine or polish and what should i use to
Apply it .

I put a polish head on my drill for the majority. Microfiber is ok, just spend a little time working what you can't get with the drill set up.
Mothers works great if you are simply removing some light oxidation like this.

I agree, easiest way, heck the hardest part was getting the tire back ON the car if you have a 4 lug wheel. And now w/ those headless lugs that Bdstone made, it's a snap

Headless lugs? Are those just for polishing?

No, you take the tire off, but you put two of those lugs in, put the tire on the posts, and put two regular lug bolts in, take the two headless ones off, and the put the two remaining ones in and the tire is back on. No more balancing, trying to get the tire back on
