what do you guys use to polish them up and get them looking sharp. I have some mcguires mag and aluminum polish and i was wondering if that would work.

 

there is some really good info in the detailing and care forum which should give you tons of options and ideas

 

do not use that metal polish on your oem 19's. Soap and water only. The finish is really finicky. you can also claybar them and wax them using a good sealant. Treat them like delicate car paint

 

^^^^^ thank you that was the answer i was looking for. I didnt even think to look in the detailing section. my bad

 

I used to have the 19s and I just used to go over them with the meguiars gold class cleaner wax. Not really fancy but I thought it looked great.

 

The clearcoat on the wheels is very similiar to that of your paint, use a mild polish to remove/diminish minor defects and use a solid wheel wax to keep them protected. I think Simple Green is too harsh, even when diluted, and prefer a more dedicated product like P21S Wheel Cleaner Gel or CG Citrus Cleaner. I just got in the sticky gel version, but haven't used it, but will post reviews later.
