anyone tried Zaino on wheels?
i've been researching lately on how to detail the paint on the G and will be trying out some of the zaino products on my car. the paint is dull, flat, and somewhat swirly. then i got to thinking since it works marvels on paint, would it work on wheels too??
anyone tried this on the polished lips?
reason i ask is because my wheels have some minor scratches and I want to try and get them looking like new. think the scratch remover would work since they are clear coated??

Yes, Zaino does work on wheels. The wheels are just like clear coated, paint. So treat them like paint. I have used Z2P on the wheels and they wash up quite nice. I just treat the wheels with Z6 QD after a Z7 wash. The brake dust is minimal, and just squirts away. A big thumbs up on using Zaino on wheels.
In regards to scratches on your wheels... It's the same as paint. If you can feel it with your finger nail, well it's going to be rough to buff out. You can try using a paint polish like Zaino's ZPC. Or something harsher. Otherwise, you may need to go to a professional wheel restorer. I did that to my scratched wheels my dealer did when they rotated them. They paid for the fix. :-) But I did get some slight overspray around the wheels on the nearby fenders. It was OK, I just got out the Zaino clay (Z18) and they overspray was eliminated.

Let us know what you decide on doing and how you make out. Sometimes its worth taking it to a wheel finishing professional and then caring for it properly from the day you get them back.
