Wheels Need Help

To be honest.. My whole car needs help. I need a paint correction bad, can't seem to find someone local who does a good job...

Anyway more importantly. I have a set of gloss black powder coated wheels. I can never get them to shine. Its annoying the hell out of me. They look good for the first week then all down hill from there. I want to buy a good wheel cleaner that will restore them to when i first got them, and would like to get one that keeps them clean. When i get my car washed they spend time cleaning them look good but once its dry it looks like they are matte black...


Any suggestions..

Well you could look over at the autogeek forum there a lot of good people over there plus I'm sure they could help you find some one to fix your paint. For the wheels not sure what you need.

I was told before that never rub or polish the powdercoated wheels because most of their gloss is on the surface. You can use wax or sealant for protection.
