Default ATT. Guys,and Gals with stock painted wheels

So my Cousin had an extra set of wheels which happened to be what i wanted, 16" aluminum silverado rims! FREEBIE!!
anyways i plan on using these for spare/track rims.

I was cleaning one up today and it had a foggy film on it when i cleaned it. so i got out the power ball and some rubbing compound and polish and went to town and didnt get rid of all of it.
what do you guys use on them?

Alot better but still some hazy spots

It took forever, they are clearcoated right? maybe some wet sanding? then going through with the buffing again?

Thay should be, maybe that is why you are having a hard time cleaning them. That could work. Just take them to a shop to have them powdercoated, or painted.
