If they are clear coated,, use some Meguires Body Scrub, then wax or polish them. If they are bare aluminum, polish them out with some Mothers Mag/Alum polish or use the Eagle One poish,, both work very well.

Wow.. something works good on clear coated aluminum rims? I was way too afraid to touch my rims with any type of polisher after paying so much to have em clearcoated.

I know what NOT to use: Armor All wheel cleaner. You know, the spray it on, wait 30 sec. and hose it off. Yeah... Left nice white chalky marks in the clearcoat.
