Could you please use some punctuation marks when typing? The run-on paragraphs are quite a headache... :xyxthumbs:

The polishes you tried are intended to be used directly on metal, your rims are painted black. Therefore you need to treat them accordingly, like paint. What are you trying to accomplish? are they just dirty? Been curbed? Do they have swirl marks?

Yes, you can apply wheel wax to those. :)
