Wheel Question

Hey guys,
I'm looking to clean up a set of Work Meister wheels (black spokes with clear coat polished lip). The wheels are spotless besides the fact that the lips have somewhat dulled, no oxidation, but rather just minute scratches from washing and drying. I've tried using body scrub, zaino swirl remover, etc. on the lips with no real results. I was wondering if anyone could recommend something that will get these things looking new again. This is the first time I have had wheels other than HRE or iForged with a non clear coated lips, and although I like the ease of maintaining them I just wish there was a little more shine.

Thanks,
David

You can use Menzerna Final Polish and a microfober pad. Then follow it up with Zymol Metall to bring out the patina. You can protect the wheel using a wax like Menzerna FMJ or Zymol Wheel Coat. The nice thing about the Zymol Wheel Coat is that's it's in a spray and you don't have to wipe it off. It dries clear. Sometimes there may be little wax dots but you simply wipe them off when dry. By the way, you may find that Zymol Metall will do the trick so give that a try fisrst.
