Default How to keep new rims looking new

Well I'm getting my new Boss 301 20" superfinish rims tomorrow and I was just wondering what I could put on them to keep them looking new? What kind of polish should I use for the superfinish rims?

get some zoop seal, i hear that stuff works really good. It puts like a seal on the rim and rapels brake dust and keeps the chrome from fading to a yellowish haze

zoop is inteneded for aluminum, i'm not sure if it would work on chrome. Chrome is easy to maintain bro, but if you really want something to protect them I would suggest using some zaino on them, works great

DUBrado has the same rims as I do and he said he uses Wenol. I haven't ever heard of it but from the pics of his rims I would say it is well worth it. Most people have been telling me to use zoop seal. I seen them use it on Trucks! and it looks good.

I have used regular mother's "mag and aluminum" polish on these as well and it honestly doesn't compare to the mothers billet polish. Once I tried it i'll never look back

Y2KSierra, I have the exact same rims but in chrome. How much did you pay for yours?
