I have the midnight silver OEM wheels on my SS/RS. How do I polish them up to shine like new again. I bought the car used and the previous owner neglected them a little. Can I use metal polish on them? I read they were painted, not sure what the correct thing would be to do with them. Thanks

If you have the Midnight Silver that is paint use paint polish and car wax. If you have the non painted there is clear coat over the top and I would also use paint polish and car wax to clean them up.

They are painted so you would clean and maintain them as you would any painted surface. If you use a wheel cleaner especially for the brake dust read the label and make sure it says safe for painted wheels.
