    Meguiars all metal polish made my Chrome Hummer H3 wheels look like absolutely new. They looked worse than that by far. I used old socks on my hands to rub them with the all metal polish. It worked superbly.
    Doing the best I can with what I've got.

I also use D143 on the tires to remove any old dressing so that I can apply a fresh new coat every few weeks. I also recommend you clean the barrels of the wheels to remove any built up grime.

      Now back on topic, once you UC/UP the wheels be sure to follow up with a sealant like ultimate wax or nxt. Then hit them up with ultimate quik wax, at least once a month to keep them looking good but also making that brake dust come off with just soap and water.

      Brake dust barrier works really good and last longer than a sealant.
      Last weekend I used the all wheel and tire cleaner and it worked great. The barrels of the wheels will be cleaned when I get my summer wheels put on. I had never really noticed how bad it was until looking at these pictures in detail. After cleaning I will make sure to protect them with some ultimate wax!
