I am assuming these factory ford rims would be clear coated but Im not sure? Just wondering if you can recommend any products to safely clean & polish or wax them. (Can I simply try a metal polish in a small area to determine & if no black residue comes off then that confirms they're cleared? then I would just use my standard sealer after they're cleaned?)

I'm no familiar with those specific wheels but they look like a "high polish" clearcoated. You'd probably want to use some sort of iron-eating wheel cleaner, then clay, then polish, and then a coating makes things really easy (or you can use your regular sealant).

As far as using metal polish on them, I would do your test with a paint polish.
