So I posted a few weeks ago in the detailing section about the issues Im having with my dirty rims here: It was established that they are permanent stains on my rims from who knows what. (They are powder coated btw, and supposed to be Satin/Matte black.) Never put anything on them before and...

They are coated, this is from the manufacture: "Finished in Powder Coating with Extra Layer of Clear Coat for Durability"

Sorry for not posting these earlier, but here is a much better picture that sums it up: Here is the link if you wanna see full size: http://i.imgur.com/CIM466U.jpg I called my manufacture, Tenzo, the guy said they recommend against using anything other than dish soap because they are matte...

Oh, so you recommend me just skipping the Nu Finish polish (sealant), and instead just use: (1)Clay bar, then (2)Mothers Carnauba wax?

I do not.... I do know what it is though, seen videos of Mike demonstrating it. There's so many things I need to try. I think this is what I'll try buying & doing for the 1st time: 1st: Meguiar's Smooth Surface Clay Kit 2nd: Nu Finish Car Polish 3rd: Mothers Carnauba Wax (In that order)...

Okay thanks guys, Will give it a shot!

Ive been doing a lot of searching on AutoGeek here about this, and am confused still. I was basically wanting to use Nu Finish car polish liquid after washing my car to make it really shiny, I hear its really good product. However its considered a paint sealant. And I have NEVER put paint...

Okay good to know. So as far as polish, just use something like this??: Amazon.com: Meguiar's Hot Rims All Metal Polish - 8 oz.: Automotive Sorry if thats a dumb question, never used polish before. So I assume something like Meguiar's polish is okay?

Hmm, idk cause I never used any cleaner or chemical on the rims until now when I bought the Armor All Wheel Cleaner. Maybe the pictures just make it look like its damaged (the third image just looks really bad cause of the flash), or maybe you're right, idk. I always thought it was just bad...

Yap, posted them now.

Yeah, here are a few pics. The 1st pic shows the little dot spots, as if its water stains. And you can see everything else.... Here is one more shot, buts its kinda exagerated as my wheels are dirty right now, but thats still kinda what it will look like: I dont think its that its...

Ive been having trouble getting my black rims to look new. I bought the Armor All Extreme Wheel and Tire Cleaner, let it soak on the rims, scrub it with a brush, and spray it off. Done it several times, the rims still have dirt/stain spots all over them. Almost look like water stains & faded...

Ya, I know tire shine spray is definitely not supposed to be put on rims lol. But with my type of rims, the silicon based sprays Ive noticed work well with shining, my rims are a black gloss & it looks so nice. But that's good to know the gel will probably be really bad. Ill have to look into...

Thanks! And yeah i guess my concern is brake dust, do you think it will make the dust stick a lot more and be more difficult to take off since this is an oil shine, versus the armor all silicon shine? idk

1st off Ive been putting Armor all Tire shine spray on my rims for awhile it and its fine. Now I bought the purple Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance High Gloss Tire Gel, for shining my tires. But its a gel version. Would it hurt to put it on my rims also to make them shiny black? I have black...
