Cleaning My Wheels?
I want to clean the wheels on my car. Mine are the same as in THIS picture. I need a pretty cheap way to clean them. They are clean , but I want them to shine a lot more. Any suggestions? I usually clean them with just water and a rag. Any help would be appreciated!

Actually, my wheels are really clean, what I should have asked, was how to shine them up? I know they are aluminum, so they abviously won't shine like chrome, but I want them to be a little shinier. Any suggestions?

Re: Cleaning My Wheels?
Try and get hold of a product called 'Solvol Autosol'. It's a cutting paste for alloy and stainless steel. It should give your bare alluminium a better shine.
To increase the shine on bare alloy, you can try feathering lighly with a really fine grade emery cloth, say 1200 grit. Do it wet and then finish off with autosol, you should be able to get a 'polished' look with this method.
