YOU ARE MAKING THIS MORE DIFFICULT THAN IT SHOULD BE, get some never dull or mothers mag and aluminum polish, and shine them rims.

I'm partial to the PowerBall by Mothers, and their PowerMetal Aluminum or even the Mag & Aluminum Polish (sprinkle with a little water for lubrication).

You do want to be sure they're not clearcoated, and that would be indicated by a clean wheel turning the pad dark almost immediately due to a chemical reaction of the polish with the bare aluminum. You also want to be sure you don't over-polish the center cap, if that's plastic... I can't remember if they're plastic or not, but they look like aftermarket rims so it's anybody's guess from the photo.

Whats the matter, don't trust us from your first thread about this [&:] There are way too many products out there to choose THE BEST that will work wonders on your rims based on the pics. I use Mothers Aluminum Polish in the little red/white jar, and based on your pics it will be an easy shine.

Agreed - your making it too difficult Just buy one and within minutes you will love the result

IMO there is not clearcoat on those wheels, just good ole' pure polished aluminum. Spots like thos would wipe off of clearcoated rims pretty easily.

WTF is a V6 Mustang Cobra?

Anyway, I use mothers powermetal with a powerball. The polished alluminum looks almost like chrome after a good polish.

The best polish on the market isn't really on the market. It's called Metal Gloss and I've seen it at over 10 carshows and swap meets on display. There's nothing like it. The only place to get it is www.metalgloss.com. It's $15 for the polish and $15 for the sealant. But, unlike other polishes, you don't have to polish every weekend to keep them looking nice. They recommend once every 6 months.
