Default Cleaning 18" Bullits

Whats the best cleaner/ polish everyone is using on their stock Bullits? I used some Neverdull to polish these things but they looked the same when I was done. These wheels really shined when I 1st bought the car!!!

My polished aluminum 18" 's are clear coated so I use what i use on my car itself. nothing harsh, nothing scratchy. They are always pretty shiny!

The factory 18"bullits are clear-coated. You'll not want to polish with any kind of mag polish/abrasive.
Wash & wax is the best care for the clear coat.

Ditto on the wax. I wash my wheels with microfiber towels and the same soapy water I used on the car unless the wheels are really bad. If so, I spray them with whatever wheel cleaner I have at that time (I have other vehicles so I try various products; one works as well as the other IMO) and then hit them with the microfiber and rinse. I then microfiber them dry. Apply wax and more microfiber to buff out. Stay away from any type of bristles. They'll put fine scratches in the clearcoat.

I've used Meguiars Fine Cut Cleaner on clear coated Bullitts,it take out the fine scratches in the clear coat.It a very mild rubbing compound.
