I have a question for ya guys....
I got the Torque Thrust 2 wheels... however they are polished aluminums. THey will require specific wax, or cleaner to keep clean, and protect the finsih. Acid based is out. Anything that could cause rust is out. I found two products so far:
Wheel Wax
Eagle One Aluminum Wash and Cleaner
What does everyone think?
Any personal reccomendations?
Thanks guys...

Check out Zoop Seal.
I've never used it, but I've heard good things about it.
It is supposed to seal a polished wheel and keep it looking "fresh" for a long time, requiring less maintenance.

I also use Flitz and have used Mothers Wheel Polish on my wheels. Both work well, just takes a lot of time and elbow grease.

A lot of polished rims are clear coated, so u have to be careful of that. The clearcoat has to be removed before u can polish the rims and then reapplied after u r done. I usually use Boyd's chrome polish every winter to clean and polish my rims and then cleaar coat them. They last the whole season and all I have to do is wash them to keep them looking nice

Zoop Seal does work great, I've seen it on Billet pieces and they don't compare to uncoated pieces. If anyone is interested I've got a complete Zoop Seal Kit for sale. Box was opened but none of the bottles or anything else inside opened, heres a link to the kit I've got.
