2SS/RS Painted Aluminum Polishing - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi,

Washing my car for the first time. I have the factory 20" wheels on my SS and believe that they are Painted Aluminum wheels.

How does one go about keeping the shine alive? I just washed them with car soap... they look decent now, but I know in the future they wont. What have yall done?

I used the same Zaino polish on my - 3 coats as I did the new car today. They look great!

In my case; Zaino, Zaino, Zaino.

I've used it on all the cars I've detailed, and the wheels look great.

How about the Polished wheels, mine are already starting to look tarnished? i have washed and waxed them but still not great.

I bought some Mothers Mag & Aluminum polish. I used it in an inconspicuous part of my wheel (I hope)... but it didn't turn black like the directions said. So I immediately discontinued use. Outside of the internet, where can one pick up Zaino locally?

I've only been to Advance Auto Parts... so maybe Autozone or Pep Boys?

You can contact Sal Zaino, www.zainobros.com, and see if he has a distributor near you.

Unfortunately, it's not available over the counter. :(

Zaino Z-CS works great on painted wheels.
