regular car wax. it will make the a lot easier to clean. dont use any harsh chemicals, it will cause the finish to yellow. clean them often, atleast once a week, with the same shampoo you use to wash your car.

i just don't think they're worth the hassle... they're impossible to keep clean... what size rims are they?

18's. If they get too dirty to the point that I just can't clean them anymore I will just take them off and put on my silver 17in rims. No biggie to me. i will probably keep swapping between them anyway!!
