POLISHED WHEELS?
 I have 20" polished wheels. What is the best way to care for them? Best way to clean them, wax or metal polish. Are they coated or not? Will they tarnish? |

oldschool, they are clear coated.....all of the 20's are clear coated. since they are clear coated, just like the rest of the finish of your car, treat them the same way. but whatever you do.....DO NOW USE METAL POLISH!!

i hate the finish on the polished wheels. You can see GM's scratches and polishing marks or lack there of polishing skills under the clear. In other words, you can't correct it. My set are better than many I have seen though.
