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.

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