Default Cleaning Wheels

I have a set of 20" SS chrome wheels and do I need to ever polish of wax them up? I've been just using soap and water and they look fine but I wasn't sure if they needed anything else..

Also, does anyone know a good way to dry them without scratching them all up?

I just give my wheels a good wash and then wipe both the lip(polished) and center (pwdrcoat.blk) with a microfiber towel. Not a scratch one on them.

I use Mother's polish once a year...then after that I simply use Windex to clean the chrome. Works great...I do the same thing with the Corsa tips...I let them both air dry first, though.
