Gaz I think Coxy likes Autosol for polished metals. I'm getting this from an old post, so take it with a grain of salt.

He probably won't be able to resist answering your post in the AM. It's 10 PM in the US.

What are you doing still up m8.

I hate polishing rims btw!
it's a real knuckle scraper!
Either use Autosol or Peeks metal polish.
Don't bother with the Meguiars metal polish as it's overly expensive and not as good.

I always used autosol its a winner!! COxy do you seal it in anyway after??

only painted rims not polished ones.
I use chemical guys wheel sealant on painted ones (when I can be bothered!!)

If you can get some, the Mothers metal polish is my personal favourite.

Concur with recommendations for Autosol, it is good and not overpriced.

Is there lacquer on there that needs to be fixed up too?
