Polished Dish? Chime in Naoooow!

Hi everyone.

This thread is for people with polished dish's and how to maintain the polished finish.

What do you use?
How often do you apply it?
Do you wipe your dish's down at the end of every day or every time you get out the car?


I have polished dish's on my SSR Professor MS1s. They have really suffered and i am having the dish's re done shortly.

I want to keep them as fresh looking as possible and i am having issues maintaining them because the spokes over hang the dish making it near impossible getting your fingers under there to polish the lips when they start looking rubbish.

I HATE POLISHING WHEELS but i do not mind doing it once every 6 months.
So once freshly polished, how would you keep them clean without having to metal polish them all the time?

I wash the rims once a week

But should i be wiping them down every day to remove any excess dirt and making sure they aren't wet?

Mothers Mag and Aluminum polish works wonders on them. Whatever you use you can make the finish stay clean a lot longer if you apply a wheel sealant or wax after polishing them.

+100
Mothers mag works well, i found blue magic aluminum polish works a bit better as it has a sealant built in, but i would still recomend wax after, its all about keeping as much water off them as possible (and wax does that).
Goodluck and be prepaired when your done to have your arms fall off from all that polishing
