Detailing - Polishing Enkei RS6 rims

Are these coated? I bought the mothers poloish and powerball and it says a black residue should immediatly appear, and if not, there coated and should stop use. Well I tried it and there was not any residue. What type of polish/cleaner should I use then?

If they are clear coated you can use something like Mother's clear coated wheel polish (you can get it at Pep Boys) It cleans and polishes at the same time. Make sure you don't use anything acidic to clean them with. Non-alkaline is best as acid eats away your clear coat. Soap and water works just fine as well. The metal itself remains polished and perfect as long as the clear is not damaged. However, the clear coat tends to yellow and needs polishing to keep the shine. Good luck...

i just got rims with a gun metal finish..soap and water works great
