Stainless Steel Polish
Guys,
Got a quick question. What is the best product available for polishing stainless steel lips on rims? I need something that is really going to bring the shine out... Thanks in advance.

~One man’s opinion / observations ~
Stainless Steel:
Wash it with P21S Total Auto Wash, use Detailers clay to remove any imbedded debris, use Plexus as a light cleaner polish (using a back and forth motion, no circular movements or you will add swirl marks) to get what the clay can't reach and seal with a synthetic wax
~Hope this is of some help~

Ive tried wheel wax,,no big deal.I have found that P21s has a couple of dynamite products for wheels.I use the P21S gel to clean them first,let it sit then agitate if they are real dirty.Hose off and dry really well.P21 also has a multi surface cleaner / polish used for the chrome tips,and the lips of the Riva's.After that,I'll use some Klasse which makes them really slick,and shiny.Now I put a nice coat of P21s Carnuaba wax and you're good to go.I have gone to porterfield pads,hardly any dust.If the car doesnt get wet,you can go for weeks w/o washing to keep them nice.Just a little pass with the duster and whammo!!
I like the clay idea,gonna try that too.
