What do you guys use to keep your wheels looking "bling"?? and is there anything that you can do to make them easier to clean the next time? Teflon coating type thing??

Don't you have a be-hatch to clean them for you?

On a serious note, I think some put Zymol wax on the wheels to aid easier cleaning next time?

If they re already clean and shiny .....................try Zymol wheel coat ,silly money of course!, come back from a track day or this current weather all the muck/ brake dust comes off a terat so perhaps worth it ...........

1) take them off and clean them to within an inch of their lives

2) Wax them

You're done.. Now a simple wash will keep them looking like new.... for a while, then repeat step 1

At the risk of starting another campaign forget anything anything ending in OL (it will last as long as it takes to put on) and use Pledge

On a precautionary note - Read the label before applying anything!!!

I made the fatal mistake of squirting loads of the maguiarearereras...(sp) wheel cleaner on mine (standard fuchs), only to then read that it should only be applied to one wheel at a time and be left for no more than 15 seconds before rinsing with a hose/strong flow of water...

I was left with some unsightly milky streaks which thankfully arent too bad after a normal wash and polish!!!
