It depends on the finish of the wheel. For a chrome wheel use Mother's Mag Polish, but for a wheel that has a clear coat on it use Wheel Wax.

If it is uncoated polished aluminum use Mothers Billet and then protect it with WheelWax. After that wipe it clean from time to time using an instant detailer on a clean microfiber cloth. Paper towel leaves scratch marks. Don't use Windex, it takes the wax off.

it's clear coated then. polish isn't removing the tarnish on the metal.
