Quit using the spray on wheel cleaner, it is what is dulling the wheels, I have been telling everyone here for the last 2 or 3 years to stop using these spray on and hose off wheels cleaners as they contain acid that gradually dulls the finish, after you polish them only wash them with plain car wash and water.

If I where you, I would start with some Mothers Mag wheel polish which is a little rough and then finish with Wenol in the blue tube or Magic Mic Metal polish which is what I use on all my billet wheels (2 sets)
