Polish Wheels

After you have thoroughly cleaned your wheels and applied tire dressing, you want to polish and protect your wheels to finish off the look. This step also helps preserve and protect your wheels from the road contaminants and brake dust and makes future cleanings easier. But before you apply the polish, make sure it's safe for your metal.

Use a wax pad or micro fiber towel to apply the polish to your wheels. Be sure to apply the polish evenly and like with other products, less is more. Use light to medium pressure to work the polish into the wheel and if you want to, here's your chance to get back to that circular motion we've been warning against. Just make sure you work the polish into all the nooks and crannies of the wheel.

After the polish dries, you're ready to remove it. You can use a buffing tool with a clean cloth that's attached to your cordless drill or simply remove it by hand with a micro fiber cloth.

With the cost of aftermarket and factory wheels today, taking care of them not only makes your car look good, it's a smart investment.
