Default Polishing rims?

I have stock '98 GT rims and just got done cleaning/waxing my car. I was wondering if there was a certain procedure to shine them up a little?

Use metal polish (I don't think so) or use some very...very fine sand paper?

Thanks

Use Grease Lightning it does a good job getting all the crap off of your rims. Just make so that you do not get any on the paint.

i like the mothers too. took a set of american racing tri fans and made them look new with a electric buffer and a can of mothers, good stuff. the metal polish that you can tear off pieces works good too, especially for chrome. mothers,eagle one,wizards - they all make it, i think eagle one is called Never Dull

Thanks...

I clean my car A LOT, so keeping the rims clean isn;t a problem, I just want them to have a nice shine to them. I'll look into the Mother's stuff, thanks.
