hi everyone. havent posted here since i had my 2000 2wd f.250. i've had the 350 for about a year know.

i just recently picked up some american racing rims with bfg 33's on them. hey were in pretty bad shape when i got them. alot of satins and tar on them. i tried polishing them but it didnt help much. so i decided to wet sand them. i used 2000 grit and then polished them 3 times. they turned out perfect. heres my question what can i do to procted them and keep the shine? i'm afraid they are going to get dull fast. i have my cabinet thats full of automotive cleaning products but i have never owned polished rims. any help would be apreciated. heres a couple pics.

Never Dull works good. I have used that many times and it brings a shine to my wheels every time. The one thing I have found is it seems to leave a film on them that you have to wipe off a while later after it drys with a soft dry cloth.

By the way, nice wheels. That is the way mine looked when I bought the truck. Another good method of cleaning them is an SOS pad and lots of water.

 

Moved to proper forum.
