Should I polish my wheels?
 
I've been better about cleaning my OEM wheels lately, soap and water, fallout / iron cleaner / clay, and meguiar's wheel cleaner. But I've noticed that the look on the wheels is still a bit hazy.

Should I attempt to polish the clearcoat on the wheels? I have Meguiar's Ultimate Polish which is a very light polish.

If the polish doesnt make them look any better, then it may be possible that the clear coat on your wheels has faded. Theres probably a million tricks on the interwebs to get them to shine like a mirror though. Unforunately, Im not expeirenced enough in the polish department to offer a solid counter to your ailments good sir. My bad!

I've found my answer from this autogeek article, they actually recommend the meguiar's ultimate polish. Nice.

I use the same stuff, works great, if you use 3M Synthetic Wax they will clean a lot easier.

If you ever get your car opti-coated get them to do your wheels at the same time.
