new wheels

[Pitch Black]

Okay guys!!! I JUST got my new wheels...... 275 18" front and 325 19" rear. I would like to make them perfect. I bought high polish aluminum from ccw and I'm sure there are people out there that know better than I do how to care for these wheels. I plan to polish them before I even put them on the car. So I'm asking for advice from my fellow detailers as to what you would recommend for slight surface scratches, (that I know will come with time), how to keep the brake dust from building up on them, and OF COURSE keep the ASSUME shine that we all strive for. I have done a search but didn't find a lot of information, and I thought that there maybe a new product out for these purposes or some new insite on this task.

Well for the scratches I guess a metal polish would work and you already have one. As for protection, a lot of people use Klasse AIO. I have that on my wheels, and the dirt comes off on my weekly wash with soap and water. This also helps to keep them looking shiney, so that is what I would do. No waxes though.

What kind of durability do you get from AIO? Could a idiot like me top AIO with SG?

I've been using the DP wheel glaze and have been very happy with it so far. I've used it for about a month now.

DP's wheel glaze will keep them clean and protect them also. http://www.autogeek.net/dp-wheel-glaze.html

Okay....I'm sorry but what is SG?

I used AIO and then a layer of Poorboys EX-P on my factory rims.. They are not chrome though...

SG is Klasse's sealant.. similiar to EX-P.
