18" Polished Bullitts

What's the best "stuff" to keep your Polished Bullitts shiney and take out the little hair like scratches?

If they have a clear coat, do not use any metal polishers, use what you use on your car

The polished Bullits are clear coated from the factory so for mine I just wax and polish them with clearcoat safe products. Whatever wax products you use for the finish on your car is safe and effective for the rims.

As stated above, the "polished bullitts are clear coated. DO NOT use any metal polish on them as you will polish off the clear coat.

I use Zaino on my car so I also used that on the wheels and they look awesome!

Bug and tar remover and a good wash to get them clean, very fine paint polish (I use 3m imperial hand glaze) works well followed by a nice wax (nu-finish).

Just treat them like the hood of your car. But just dont start breaking out compounds and stuff. It is entirly possible to wear through the clear. Although it is rather thickly applied on most ford wheels. I think it is powder coat actually.

Did the same for mine, you could try a clear coat safe scratch filling wax (meguires NXT, or Zaino) to fill in tiny surface lines.

I use Wheelwax for mine, it is made for the wheels and withstand the heat from the brakes without coming off like regular wax would.
